The Hunt Evolves
Capcom’s legendary series is back — bigger, bolder, and wilder than ever. Monster Hunter Wilds marks a major evolution in the franchise, taking the beloved hunting experience into a truly open world for the first time.
Set for release in 2025, this new installment promises to redefine what it means to be a hunter, blending seamless exploration, living ecosystems, and cinematic monster battles across breathtaking landscapes.
A World Alive with Danger
Unlike previous entries with segmented maps, Monster Hunter Wilds introduces a fully open, interconnected world. Hunters can seamlessly explore vast biomes without loading screens — from desert dunes that shift with the wind to lush grasslands teeming with life.
The world isn’t static; it changes dynamically. Sandstorms can hide massive predators, thunderstorms can alter monster behavior, and herds of smaller creatures migrate as the ecosystem reacts in real time. Every hunt feels unpredictable, alive, and deeply immersive.
An Expanding Story and Cast
Monster Hunter Wilds isn’t just about hunting; it’s about surviving and understanding a world that constantly evolves.
Players take on the role of a new Hunter traveling with a team of researchers into uncharted lands. With a focus on narrative depth, Capcom is introducing fully voiced characters, cinematic cutscenes, and a more emotional storyline that explores the bond between humans, nature, and the monsters that rule it.
The returning Handler system has been enhanced too — your companion now reacts intelligently to the environment and provides real-time information about weather, monster tracks, and survival tactics.
Monsters Like Never Before
What would Monster Hunter be without its incredible creatures? Wilds brings a roster of both new and returning monsters, each with their own ecosystems, habits, and behaviors.
Expect massive, majestic beasts that can adapt to environmental conditions — a thunder wyvern that soars through storm clouds, or a sand-burrowing leviathan that emerges only during desert winds.
Every monster tells a story, and every encounter tests your skill, preparation, and courage.
Combat and Tools Evolved
The combat system in Monster Hunter Wilds builds on the fluidity of Monster Hunter: World and Rise but introduces new mounts, traversal mechanics, and tactical depth.
Players can now ride creatures known as Seikrets, using them to travel faster across the open terrain or even engage in combat on the move. Weapon classes return with new abilities and synergy options, allowing hunters to adapt to different situations and monster behaviors.
Dynamic weather, destructible terrain, and real-time environmental changes make every fight feel cinematic and unpredictable.
Visuals and Immersion
Powered by the RE Engine, Monster Hunter Wilds showcases some of Capcom’s most stunning visuals to date. Every detail — from sand grains kicked up during a chase to the bioluminescent glow of nighttime hunts — creates a world that feels alive and dangerous.
Sound design also plays a key role, with ambient noise and realistic monster roars enhancing the immersion. The game is built to harness the full potential of next-gen consoles and high-end PCs.
Multiplayer and Cooperative Hunts
The series’ signature cooperative gameplay returns stronger than ever. Monster Hunter Wilds will feature seamless multiplayer integration, allowing up to four players to join hunts without interruptions or load times.
Team strategy remains essential — coordinating traps, healing, and monster tracking is key to success. Cross-platform play is rumored, making it easier than ever to join friends across different systems.
A New Beginning for Hunters
Monster Hunter Wilds is not just another sequel; it’s the next great step in Capcom’s evolution of the franchise. The open-world approach, deep storytelling, and lifelike environments promise to deliver the most immersive hunting experience yet.
For veterans, it’s a bold new challenge. For newcomers, it’s the perfect entry point into the thrill of the hunt.
The wilds are calling — and the greatest hunt of all time is about to begin.
