Prepare for an adrenaline-pumping adventure as the trailer introduces a host of formidable monsters. The first battle showcases a massive bear-like creature, promising a challenging boss fight. The reptilian adversaries are equally menacing, adding even more formidable showdowns.

Monster Hunter’s classic combat still holds true in this next iteration, where we see the brutality of a gun first-hand. And, of course, there needed to be at least one gigantic sword, as one of the characters deals a deadly blow to the creature.

Unfortunately, we didn’t get an exact release date for Monster Hunter Wilds, as the trailer only depicted cinematics and gameplay. However, we do know that it is slated for 2025 at least, and wishlists are currently available.

Similar to past iterations, Monster Hunter Wilds has you hunting down for, you guessed it, monsters. Given that it’s in the wilds, the environment will change constantly. That means extra challenges are ahead, bringing out unique wildlife across the Forbidden Lands.

For those who have journeyed with the series in the past, Wilds brings a wealth of new moves, weapons, and equipment to master. Get ready to explore fresh strategies and unleash devastating attacks with these exciting additions.

While we eagerly await an official release date, one thing is certain: Monster Hunter Wilds will be a multi-platform adventure. You can look forward to embarking on this thrilling hunt on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC sometime in 2025.
