The next entry to the beloved Monster Hunter series is on its way, continuing the hunt that started from the original. Here’s everything you need to know about Monster Hunter Wilds, including a release date, platforms, and more.

What platforms will Monster Hunter Wilds be on?
Monster Hunter Wilds will be available to play on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Each system provides various editions, including Standard, Deluxe, and Premium Deluxe.

Monster Hunter Wilds trailers
The Game Awards 2023 revealed the very first trailer for Monster Hunter Wilds. It gave us a short sneak peek of various monsters and the foꦦrmidable Forbid🐎den Lands.
We also see the 𒁏playable character riding the new mount, Seikret. Not only is this creature used for traveling, but it can be an excellent asset for hunts. You can utilize it to stash away multiple gear, allowing you to heal and equip several weapons.
The Sony State of Play 2024 also gave us a first look into gameplay. It focuses more on the game’s combat side, presenting several brutal showdowns.
The tr𝔍ailer shows creatures like the Doshaguma, a fanged beast that lingers in the Windward Plains. We also get a glimpse of the reptilian-like Chatacabra, which uses its saliva to power up its attacks.
In more recent news, the Release Date Reveal trailer dives further into the Monster Hunter Wilds world. You’ll see how the Guild handles a few special assignments that put them against a fearsome new foe (not the adorable Palicos, of course). The monster is known as the “White Wraith,” the primary subject of the Research Committee.
Will Monster Hunter Wilds be open world?
Since there is little information about Monster Hunter Wilds’ gameplay, it needs to be clarified w🐬hether the game will be open-world or not. However, the trailer may hint𝓡 at this feature, mainly because it includes changing environments.
The Monster Hunter Wilds page mentions two hunting locales: a formidable location with challenging monsters and a much more peaceful area. Creatures also have designated ecosystems, where you’ll primarily start in the Windward Plains.
Due to these unique environmental attributes, an open-world feature may pan out for Monster Hunter Wilds. We’ll have to wait and see what Capcom confirms.
