Monster Hunter fans have been waiting for it! Monster Hunter Wilds, developed by Capcom, has been waiting for you since February 28, 2025 on PS5, Xbox Series and PC via Steam. And to celebrate the launch in style, here's a new trailer!

Synopsis of Monster Hunter Wilds:

"Dynamic environments in constant evolution. A story of monsters and humans in a world with two faces: on the one hand, harsh, unforgiving lands where monsters fight for limited resources, and on the other, a colorful landscape brimming with life. As a professional monster hunter, you protect the balance of this ecosystem by tracking down monsters. Use the resources gleaned from your hunts to fashion ever more powerful armor and weapons in your quest to unravel the mysteries of these new lands. Enjoy the most advanced action and immersive experience of any Monster Hunter to date".

Our preview of Monster Hunter Wilds:

During our visit to Paris Games Week, we tested Capcom's game. And it was a pleasant surprise! Graphically speaking, it's quite interesting, and very dynamic. A true next-gen game, with a more advanced and richer level design, offering a lively game outside the playable character, and above all with no loading times between different parts of the map.

Gameplay is complete and easy to handle, with tactical combat against monsters. As in other games in the franchise, you'll have to cunningly hit enemies' weak points to bring them down. You'll also need to learn how to handle each weapon, each of which has its own unique gameplay.

Special mention must be made of the cinematic sequences, which are truly beautiful. The story is equally dynamic and cinematic... You just can't get enough of it. In short, a promising program that seems to be reinventing the genre... But we'll have to wait for its release to find out for sure!

Trailer for Monster Hunter Wilds:

Continuing the saga's tradition of hunting and survival, Monster Hunter Wilds will feature confrontations with monsters of all kinds. While awaiting the release of this new title, fans can already immerse themselves in the rich universe of Monster Hunter: World and its Iceborne extension.
