The Monster Hunter movie actually looks like the games in a new photo

TONY JAA’S FIELD TEAM LEADER COSPLAY IS FLAWLESS. [ BLEED OUT ] World of Warcraft’s most infamous disaster is becoming a Hearthstone card THE UPCOMING RASTAKHAN’S RUMBLE WILL PAY HOMAGE TO HAKKAR THE SOULFLAYER AND THE CORRUPTED BLOOD INCIDENT.

The first pictures to come out of the Monster Hunter film adaptation were not particularly reassuring, with Milla Jovovich posting Monster Hunter set photos of her hanging out with fellow cast members decked out military uniforms. There wasn’t an oversized sword in sight. The latest photo, however, couldn’t come from anything other than Monster Hunter.

It shows Jovovich as Natalie Artemis, this time no longer decked out in modern military gear, accompanied by Tony Jaa, who looks almost exactly like Monster Hunter: World’s Field Team Leader, right down to the ridiculous Giant Jawblade.

Artemis’ gear is equally inspired by Monster Hunter World, and you might recognise the swirly pattern on her top from the Odogaron chest piece, specifically the male version, from the game. And yes, that’s a slinger that she’s got strapped to her arm. She’s not wearing a specific armour set, instead opting for a mix, obviously going for the pieces with the best stats. On September 13, 2005, a player returned from the grueling new Zul’Gurub raid and summoned his pet in one of Azeroth’s capital cities only to find that, due to a bug, the pet had acquired a debuff that wasn’t supposed to exist outside of the raid.

Called Corrupted Blood, this negative effect would deal constant damage to its target until they died – but even worse was the fact that it was highly contagious. Anyone within a certain range of an infected player automatically contracted the disease and soon died. In a matter of hours, World of Warcraft’s capital cities had become ground zero of a deadly plague, and they stayed that way for over a week.

And now, 13 years later, Hearthstone is finally paying tribute to that cataclysmic moment in its own, cool way. Meek Hakkar, the Soulflayer, the boss from which corrupted blood originated, now transformed into a Hearthstone card.

The idea here is that, with enough unlucky draws, a player could fill their deck up Corrupted Blood and eventually – like WoW players of yore – fall victim to it.

“After Telltale shut its doors, the game was, unfortunately, unable to be worked on and hence the release dates of Episodes 3 and 4 have been delayed,” Skybound’s Sally Jacka said in a recent blog post. “But, we’re excited to let you know that many of the talented, passionate team members who originally worked on the game are resuming development efforts today!” Former Telltale lead writer James Windeler confirmed the news on Twitter, adding that the original team is “back in the old office today to finish out Clementine’s story.”
