Build Some Muscle with Monster Hunter VR Gear at Universal Cool Japan 2022

Be prepared to do some heavy lifting and build muscle at the Universal Cool Japan 2022’s Monster Hunter VR attraction.

As awesome as the whole VR thing sounds, it will be a hassle for you if you’re not used to picking up heavyweights. If you were under the impression that the Monster Hunter VR attraction would have those cool goggles, then you’re entirely wrong.

The weight of the entire VR gear set has been revealed by Universal Studios Japan, and boy, we all will come out ripped after this virtual reality experience.

The Universal Cool Japan 2022 event revealed that the Monster Hunter: Iceborne XR Walk gear weighs 8 kilograms (approx. 25 pounds). Users will have to lift the set for 25 minutes, and this is just one of the physical requirements that the activity demands.

Realize “ultra-realistic” hunting by becoming a hunter, walking on your own, and mastering your weapons!

“Universal Cool Japan 2022” will be held next spring!

The first lineup, “Monster Hunter World: Iceborne XR WALK,” will open in advance on January 21, 2022 (Friday)!

The Monster Hunter: Iceborne game is the first VR attraction by the franchise, and as you can see, they’re making sure that it’s memorable. It will be open from January 21 – August 28, 2022, so you better start preparing yourself.

The gameplay allows you to pick your avatar and choose a weapon you’re familiar with. It includes the great sword, long sword, hammer, switch ax, and heavy bow gun.

Along with this excellent virtual ammo, you will get a mesmerizing 360-degree virtual reality view of the breathtaking world of Monster Hunter: Iceborne. One thing I can guarantee you is that the graphics and visuals will make you forget the heavy VR equipment you’re carrying.

Players can then explore the game’s vast world and defeat Velkhana, Iceborne’s new original villain. Users can also form teams of up to four people in the game to complete the quests.

The creators of this VR game gave extra attention to the details to provide a full-fledged experience to the users. When we put on the VR set, we’ll be able to hear distant roars of the creatures, the wind pressure, and more.

With such spectacular graphics, story, and gameplay, I’m sure you won’t be bothered by the physical burden of the gear that weighs heavier than your late-night existential crisis.

About Monster Hunter

Monster Hunter is a media franchise centered around a series of fantasy-themed action role-playing video games that started with the game Monster Hunter for PlayStation 2, released in 2004.

This is a world where both men and monsters exist. Those who hunt the monsters are called Hunters. But in a small corner of the Hunter’s world, there are those called Riders who bond with and coexist with monsters.

Ryuto, a young boy living in the Rider village of Hakum, dreams of becoming the world’s best Rider. Together with his kind-hearted childhood friend Shuval, his inquisitive childhood friend Lilia, and his partner Naviloo, he sets out deep into the forest, and has a miraculous encounter with a Rathalos.
