And when the new console entry in the Monster Hunter series arrives early next year, it will have a unique feature for PlayStation 4 owners: the opportunity to play as Aloy, the kickass star of Horizon Zero Dawn. >At the tail-end of a trailer that Sony premiered during the media presser, we got our first quick tease at Aloy’s appearance in the Monster Hunter: World world. As a pro dinosaur hunter, she’s a great fit for a crossover with Capcom’s fan-favorite questing-and-hunting franchise.
