Monster Hunter Wilds Is Making Some Big Changes as Capcom Drops First Gameplay Details | Push Square
pushsquare.comFollowing its gameplay reveal during the latest State of Play, Capcom has dropped some additional details on Monster Hunter Wilds. In brief, this definitely sounds like an evolution of Monster Hunter World, as the developer's placing an even heavier emphasis on creating a «living world».

It's a little bit vague, but this sounds like a fairly significant adjustment: «Focus Mode makes it easier to adjust your distance to the monster and aim your attacks, making the distinctive Monster Hunter hunting action more accessible to a wider variety of players. Some weapons will also feature distinctive moves that can only be used in this mode.»
Oh, and you can switch weapons mid-hunt now! Sharp-eyed viewers may have noticed this in the trailer, but you're able to pack a second weapon on your mount — a bipedal, feathered, raptor-like monster called a Seikret. This should add some nice variety when you're out in the field.
