MSI and CAPCOM are joining forces to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Monster Hunter game series with an array of new products. MSI's upcoming offerings, set to be unveiled at CES 2024, include limited-edition series inspired by the iconic Monster Hunter franchise developed by Capcom. The official showcase of these products is slated for the following week, but MSI is granting an early glimpse into what's in store. Among the highlights are the high-end TITAN 18 HX gaming laptop, the Claw gaming handheld, and a captivating Monster Hunter hardware series.

According to the MSI Marketing Vice President, these limited edition Monster Hunter products not only pay homage to the game's illustrious history but also exemplify a commitment to advancing gaming technology. This initiative draws parallels to ASUS ROG Evangelion products, inspired by a renowned anime series. MSI, while exploring a similar concept, has chosen to distinguish itself by focusing on the Monster Hunter universe, which has seen over 20 titles and a staggering 94 million units sold worldwide since its debut in 2004 on PlayStation 2.

The Monster Hunter Limited Edition series from MSI comprises:

MSI Crosshair 16 HX MONSTER HUNTER EDITION Gaming Laptop
MSI GeForce RTX™ 4060 Ti 8G GAMING SLIM MONSTER HUNTER EDITION Gaming Graphics Card
MSI FORCE GC30 MONSTER HUNTER EDITION Gaming Controller
MSI MAG CORELIQUID E360 MONSTER HUNTER EDITION Liquid Cooler
MSI MPG GUNGNIR 300 MONSTER HUNTER EDITION Gaming Case
MSI MPG Z790 EDGE MONSTER HUNTER EDITION Gaming Motherboard
MSI MAG 274QRF QD E2 MONSTER HUNTER EDITION Gaming Monitor

Among these offerings, MSI is introducing an Intel Z790-based motherboard from the EDGE series. It boasts a 16+1+1 phase design, support for PCIe Gen5, and Wi-Fi7 compatibility.

The MSI GeForce RTX™ 4060 Ti 8G GAMING SLIM MONSTER HUNTER EDITION Gaming Graphics Card is a standout product in this series. Featuring exclusive patterns and a color scheme inspired by the Monster Hunter collaboration, this graphics card pays tribute to a two-decade legacy. Designed with gamers in mind, it sports bold lines, clean edges, RGB accents, and a well-ventilated backplate, making it slim and lightweight for versatile gaming setups. Powered by NVIDIA's Ada Lovelace architecture, the MSI GeForce RTX™ 4060 Ti delivers exceptional performance for mainstream gamers at 1080P resolution, reaching 100 frames per second with Ray Tracing, DLSS 3 neural rendering, and an eighth-generation NVIDIA Encoder (NVENC) featuring AV1 encoding. This card caters to gamers' demands by offering the latest graphics technology, delivering lifelike visuals, enhanced image quality, and improved frame rates.

Additionally, MSI is launching the RTX 4060 Ti 8GB graphics card from the GAMING SLIM series, featuring a triple-fan design built around the AD106 GPU, equipped with 4352 CUDA cores. While this GPU comes with 8GB of memory (ideally, 16GB would be preferred), it is expected to be priced around $399, making it accessible to a broad audience. MSI's reputation suggests that their limited edition products are typically readily available worldwide, mitigating concerns of scarcity.
