“The Monster Hunter fan on the Discord dev team got busted for making up a MH name as a placeholder so they had to change it,” said Kogath — a Monster Hunter community influencer. “Seriously though, I dunno why so many people fell for thinking Discord of all places would have such advanced knowledge.”
This news will likely come as a disappointment to many fans, particularly those who were looking forward to another World sequel. For now, though, we’ll just have to wait for an official announcement from Capcom themselves.
