Whether you're talking about its fandom or its stars, Monster Hunter Wilds is one of the biggest games of 2025, and it's not even had its official release yet. The development team at Capcom aren't slacking though, and IGN sat down with Producer Ryozo Tsujimoto and Director Yuya Tokuda at IGN Fan Fest to find out what's next for Monster Hunter Wilds once the game launches on February 28. There's a new area that will have you wanting to pull on the thermal underwear, a special item pack for Fan Fest viewers, and a live-action trailer that will leave you more excited than a Lala Barina at a floristry convention.

Brand new to the series, Iceshard Cliffs region is described as "a frigid land swept with snowy blizzards." If you missed the trailer that gave us a sneak peek at it, think gorges constructed of ice and rock, ruins peeking through glaciers, and treacherous looking caves.

"The new locale is called the Iceshard Cliffs, which has [a lot of] cold weather, and during the inclemency, which is the harsh weather in the game, it kind of looks very dark, especially in the trailers that were revealed, but when you're actually playing it's very dynamic in the colors, and you can see a different side of the locale as you're playing," promises Tokuda.

The scenery might be desktop wallpaper worthy, but what hardened Monster Hunters really care about is the wildlife roaming around those snowy sites, and Monster Hunter Wilds' Iceshard Cliffs sounds like they won't be disappointing anyone on that front.

"There are, outside of the returning monsters that have the ice element, there are some other monsters that were also shown in the trailer, such as the flying Leviathan-type monster, Hirabami," says Tokuda.

"Hirabamis move in herds, and you can see in the trailer, but there's also a larger monster behind the herd of the Hirabami, which is the apex monster of the Ice Shard Cliffs, and it's a very large monster and has various attacks, and we hope everybody enjoys it."
