UK’s First Ever Dedicated Monster Hunter Gaming Centre To Open (PSP)

Capcom® can today announce the exciting news that The Gathering Hall, the UK’s first and only dedicated Monster Hunter gaming centre, will be open to the public from 3rd July.

Monster Hunter is the biggest game in Japan by far, outselling Pokemon and Wii Fit last year. Home to over three million players, Japan has seen the growth of a new kind of social gaming in recent years as this PSP game has won over the hearts of gamers across the country. Players can be found in most tube compartments, in many cafes and fast food restaurants, and even just congregating on street corners. Festivals have been held in all the major cities attracting thousands of players and Monster Hunter package holidays are also popular.

Only a stone’s throw away from Tottenham Court Road tube station in central London the Gathering Hall will be the ultimate destination for Monster Hunters. Aiming to recreate the social gaming environment enjoyed by gamers in Asia, people will be able to meet other players easily, download exclusive quests, learn how to play on dedicated tutorial nights and meet the developers when they visit the UK. The Gathering Hall will be open seven days a week and entrance will be free and exclusive to anyone with a PSP and copy of Monster Hunter Freedom Unite.

Monster Hunter Freedom Unite is available exclusively for PSP from 26th June. The Gathering Hall, situated at 121 Charing Cross Road, will open on Friday 3rd July at 12pm.
