Things are about to get a little bit wild in the world of Monster Hunter. At The Game Awards this evening, Capcom revealed the latest entry in the franchise: Monster Hunter Wilds.
There aren’t a lot of details yet about what makes this one different from past MonHun titles, and the game isn’t expected to launch until 2025. It’s slated for the PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X / S. There’s at least a very beautiful trailer to watch full of lots of mounts to ride and monsters to hunt (obviously). More news on Wilds is expected in the summer of 2024.
MonHun has been on a roll in recent years. The launch of Monster Hunter World in 2018 saw the franchise break out and become a global hit, and it was followed by a live-action film, the Switch spinoff Rise (which has since hit other platforms), and a mobile game from the creators of Pokémon Go. Earlier this year, EA got in on the genre as well with the very similar game Wild Hearts.
