Monster Hunter Wilds was originally revealed at the 2023 Game Awards. At the time, it was given a broad 2025 release date, though we now know its specific window.
That initial trailer was pretty light on details, though it did give players a look at the world they’ll be able to explore when the game launches. It also showcased the player character riding and flying on an animal, which appears to be one of the biggest features in the game.
Dynamic weather was also showcased in the initial reveal, and it was later highlighted in Thursday’s trailer. Additionally, more footage was shown of the player characer riding a mount while combatting a monster.
Wilds will be the first true mainline entry in Capcom’s long-running series since 2018’s Monster Hunter World. Since then, there has been a slew of spinoffs and smaller titles, but Wilds represents the first dedicated entry in years. Monster Hunter World did receive multiple expansions in the time since, including Iceborne, though fans will be plenty excited to have a brand-new adventure to run through.
On top of some new gameplay for Monster Hunter Wilds, we also got to seethe reveal and release date for a new Astro Bot game,the release date for Silent Hill 2 Remake, andthe announcement of Dynasty Warriors: Origins, which also has a vague release window of 2025 for now. At least the year is looking pretty stacked already, and at least that’s something to look forward to.
