Rumors: Microsoft is preparing a cooperative game in the spirit of Monster Hunter

GameBeast editor Jeff Grab often shares his insiders. Of course, not all of them are true, but still many are confirmed, so it can be considered a relatively reliable source of information. Recently, in his podcast, Grab spoke about Microsoft's plans to launch a co-op game in the Monster Hunter genre. 

According to the insider, Microsfot seeks to diversify the Game Pass library and would very much like to add the super-popular Monster Hunter to its collection. But in order to do this you will need to spend a considerable amount of money, so the T-shirts want to create their own analogue of the game. 

According to Hornbeam, Microsofy has commissioned Certain Affinity, a project that usually serves as an "apprentice" and helps other studios develop. For example, she was involved in the development of Halo: Infinite and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered, and was also responsible for the multiplayer mode in Doom (2016). 

Meanwhile, in mid-January  Steam   started Monster Hunter Rise. And it started well - the peak attendance of the novelty reached 134 thousand users, and the rating of approval from players was 87% based on 11,366 reviews.
