A Wild Hearts free trial is available now
A playable demo is now available for Wild Hearts.
The free trial for Omega Force's take on Monster Hunter formula is downloadable now on current-gen console systems, PS5 and Xbox Series X.
You'll need an EA account to play but once you're all signed up, you'll get access to the «latest content» for free from today until 13th April, 2023, where you'll be free to explore the game «right up to the gates of Minato».
If you like what you see and decide to buy the action RPG, you'll secure a 20 per cent discount on Xbox and PlayStation across the same time period, too.

»What sets this game apart is its target hardware: Wild Hearts targets current-gen consoles and PC only, whereas Monster Hunter is firmly addressing older gaming hardware. This gave me plenty of optimism going into reviewing the game — but it's clear that despite some laudible ambition here, every version of the game has technical issues in some form that must be addressed.
