The Latest Preview for Monster Hunter Wilds is Perfect for New and Veteran Players
Capcom’s Monster Hunter franchise is known for its deep lore and giant creatures, which can be intimidating for inexperienced gamers. However, the upcoming installment, Monster Hunter Wilds, is designed to cater to new players and veterans alike. It serves as a sort of Monster Hunter 101, guided by the in-game handler, Alma.
What to Expect in Monster Hunter Wilds
The player character in this game is a Hunter embarking on an expedition to the Forbidden Lands. Accompanying the Hunter are Alma, a female smith named Gemma, and a Palico – a feline-like companion providing aid in battle, familiar from the World installment. Multiple teams join this journey to reunite a young boy, Nata, with his people and defeat the monster responsible for scattering them: Arkveld, the White Wraith.
Adapting to Dynamic Challenges
In Monster Hunter Wilds, creatures will adapt to the expedition team’s presence over time, requiring players to adjust their tactics accordingly. The diverse terrain of the Forbidden Lands also influences how battles unfold. Survival in the wild involves securing food with the assistance of the Hunter’s Palico.
Unique Gameplay Elements
Players will also experience the Hunter’s bond with their Seikret, a bird-like two-legged beast that can be ridden like a horse. The Seikret offers a means of escape when battles take a turn for the worse. Additionally, players can call for help during combat to prevent being overwhelmed by formidable foes.
Release Date and Platforms
Monster Hunter Wilds is scheduled for release on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC on February 28, 2025.
