Ahead of the December 25 release of the Monster Hunter movie, players of Monster Hunter World: Iceborne will be able to meet the film's protagonist and play as her. Artemis, who is voiced by movie actor Milla Jovovich, will join the game on December 4 for two special quests.

　　Capcom has shared some details, alongside a trailer, which you can watch below.

　　These Event Quests are called The New World and To Our World, and see Artemis being transported from the "real world" into the world of Monster Hunter. In the first quest, Artemis will fight a Black Diablos in Wildspire Waste, and victory will earn her an armor set from the movie. The second quest will pit her against a Rathalos, and you can unlock the Artemis Layered Armor by defeating it.
