Because of the deep lore and the giant creatures of Capcom’s Monster Hunter franchise, it may be intimidating for inexperienced gamers who haven’t played the titles before. However, the latest preview for the next installment, Monster Hunter Wilds, is laser-focused on setting up the game for new players and veterans alike. Think of it as Monster Hunter 101, as related by the in-game handler, Alma.
The player character is a Hunter who is on an expedition to the Forbidden Lands. The Hunter’s expedition team includes Alma, a female smith named Gemma, and a Palico–a feline-like companion who aids the player in battle and was also seen in World. Multiple teams are also on this journey to reunite a young boy, Nata, with his people and vanquish the monster who scattered them: Arkveld, the White Wraith.
The creatures in the game will adapt to the presence of the expedition team over time, which means that the players will have to shift their tactics as needed. It’s also explained that the different terrain of the Forbidden Lands will play a role in how the battles are fought. But surviving in the wild also means that the Hunter has to secure food with the help of their Palico.
Another aspect of the game is the Hunter’s relationship with their Seikret, a bird-like two-legged beast that can be ridden like a horse. The Seikfret can spirit the player out of harm’s way when things go wrong in battle with the monsters. Similarly, the Hunter can signal for help in battle to avoid getting overwhelmed or even killed. Some threats in this game are simply too much to handle without backup.
Monster Hunter Wilds will be released on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC on February 28, 2025.
