Sony Interactive Entertainment Japan Asia, in collaboration with Capcom, has released a special video for Monster Hunter Wilds featuring actor, model, and former Nogizaka46 idol Nanase Nishino.
Titled “Nanase Nishino Can’t Sleep,” the commercial follows a restless Nishino, who can’t sleep due to her excitement for the release of Monster Hunter Wilds, even though she has an early shoot the next morning. She wears an eye mask resembling Monster Hunter gear and counts Yian Kut-Ku instead of sheep. She eventually falls asleep, but in her dreams, the Yian Kut-Ku appear, and she sleep-escapes on an exercise bike and sleep-rolls a barrel-shaped trash can toward them, before sleep-jumping out of bed to dodge their attack. As morning arrives, Nishino is shown grilling a large piece of meat over an open flame.
Monster Hunter Wilds is due out for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam on February 28.
Watch the video and an interview with Nishino below.
