Developer and publisher Capcom shared the newest trailer and revealed the release date for Monster Hunter Wilds, the latest title in the beloved series. Enter the Wilds on February 28, 2025. Pre-order now to receive the Guild Knight Set Layered Armor and the Hope Charm Talisman.
“A mysterious new flagship monster emerges in Monster Hunter Wilds. Discover the expansive heights of the second locale, the Scarlet Forest, awash with danger and beauty that can change in an instant. Prepare yourself for even more brand new monsters making their series debut, including a Leviathan Apex that makes more than a splash in the hunt!”
You are a monster hunter, protecting the balance of the ecosystem and hunting monsters in a world with dynamic, ever-changing environments. Use the resources you gain from hunts to craft ever more powerful weapons and armor in your quest to unravel the mysteries of the new lands.
The developers promise the most evolved action and improved immersion as players use every resource at their disposal to track and hunt monsters. There are 14 weapon types to choose from in addition to the new Focus Mode. It allows you to carefully aim your attacks or guards. While performed in the Focus Mode, attacks or guards will be directed where the camera is facing.
Attacking the same parts of a monster continuously may create wounds on that body part. Fighting in Focus Mode highlights these parts, and attacking them deals more damage than normal. Focus Strikes are special attacks that deal extra damage to wounds and weak points, also highlighted in the Focus Mode.
