Monster Hunter Wilds Gets First Gameplay, Looks Like the Evolution of World | Push Square

pushsquare.com:

Monster Hunter Wilds was given its first proper gameplay trailer during the latest State of Play, and as ever, we're finding it very, very difficult to doubt Capcom. While it isn't raw footage, all the hallmarks of a proper Monster Hunter title are there, and we get to see some new beasts to boot.

It's already apparent that this is the proper successor to Monster Hunter World, both in its more 'realistic' art direction and what looks like it could be a full open world structure. Plus, there's a clear emphasis on the hunter and prey relationships between monsters; we're expecting impressively fleshed-out ecosystems here.

Monster Hunter Wilds is still set for a PS5 release in 2025, but are you feeling the hype? Call your squad and make a camp in the comments section below.

Robert (or Rob if you're lazy) has been a fan of PlayStation since the 90s, when Tekken 2 introduced him to the incredible world of video games. He still takes his fighting games seriously, but RPGs are his true passion. The Witcher, Dragon Quest, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy, he's played 'em all — a little too much, some might say.

I am so soooooo ready to love another 300+ hours to a new Monster Hunter. I wonder how early in '25 they're aiming for?

Looked really off to me. It seemed super serious, the visuals looked dull and combat just looked really janky for some reason. I'm really concerned especially with this open world move.

This looks insane, I can see another 200+ hours getting sank into yet another Monster Hunter game. Not too sure about fighting multiple monsters at once though, unless in those situations their healthy is severely cut short.

Going to be Godtier.

Curious if this is going to have the same clunky co-op restrictions as World. Looks like it might, which would be a hilariously stubborn move. Either way this is going to be incredible

I really hope there's an in depth story and they didn't just make a big map for no reason.

@VaultGuy415 For me, the backwards co-op system in World
