Monter Hunter is a series of action role-playing video games that were developed and published by Capcom. In any Monster Hunter game, you take the role of a titular Hunter who takes villager quests where you slay and capture monsters or gather certain items across various landscapes. Such quests would allow the player to gain loot from gathering resources, carving slain monsters, and receiving quest rewards. Players can then use the loots to craft or upgrade weapons and armor and take on more powerful monsters.
The first game in the series is Monster Hunter for the PlayStation back in 2004 and the current game is Monster Hunter World in multiple platforms. Capcom has reported that 64 million of the series has been sold worldwide. It is the company's second best-selling series after Resident Evil. The newest released game, Monster Hunter World is now Capcom's best-selling game with 16,1 million units sold as of June 2020.
