Get ready to embark on the ultimate hunt as Capcom unveils Monster Hunter Wilds, the highly anticipated sequel to the acclaimed Monster Hunter series. Scheduled for release in summer 2025, Wilds promises to deliver the most expansive and thrilling hunting experience yet.
Unlike its predecessor, Monster Hunter: Rise, Wilds will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC at launch, leaving Switch owners disappointed for the time being. The official reveal trailer showcases vast environments teeming with colossal monsters, hinting at the immense scale of the game world.
Wilds introduces several exciting new gameplay mechanics that will redefine the hunting experience. Players can now mount creatures to traverse the expansive landscapes with unprecedented agility and can also carry additional weapons on their mounts, allowing for quick weapon changes during hunts. The trailer also teases the ability to trigger traps and lure monsters into environmental hazards, adding an extra layer of strategy to the gameplay.
In addition to the single-player mode, Wilds features cooperative multiplayer for up to three players, allowing hunters to team up to take down formidable foes. The gameplay trailer concludes with a glimpse of a hunter summoning co-op help, sparking anticipation for the social aspects of the game.
While preorders for Monster Hunter Wilds are not yet available, Capcom has announced that players who have save data from Monster Hunter: World and its Iceborne expansion will receive two exclusive Palico armor sets. Stay tuned for further updates on release dates, preorders, and additional details about Monster Hunter Wilds, the upcoming behemoth in the hunting genre.
