    Monster Hunter Wilds is an action role-playing game developed by Capcom and released on February 28, 2025, for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S. It is a successor to Monster Hunter: World and introduces several new features while retaining the core hunting mechanics of the series.

    Key Features of Monster Hunter Wilds

    • Gameplay: Players assume the role of a custom Hunter exploring the "Forbidden Lands" to locate a missing expedition party. The game involves hunting monsters, collecting resources, and crafting gear to take on more challenging creatures. It supports both solo play and four-player cooperative multiplayer.
    • New Additions:
      • Dynamic weather and time-of-day systems that influence monster behavior.
      • A mount called "Seikret" for exploration and combat, allowing players to carry two weapons during hunts.
      • A Focus mode for targeting specific monster body parts.
    • Biomes: Features large open-world areas with seamless transitions between exploration zones and the hunter's village.
    • Cross-Platform Multiplayer: Players can team up across PC, PS5, and Xbox platforms.

    Preloading and File Size

    • The game requires at least 75GB of storage space on PC and consoles. Preloading was available before release, ensuring players could jump in immediately upon launch.

    Open Beta

    Before its release, Monster Hunter Wilds held an open beta in late 2024 for Xbox, PC (via Steam), and PS5 users. Beta participants could access character creation tools, a story trial, and a free-roaming hunt. Progress made in the beta transferred to the full game.

    This latest installment builds on the success of Monster Hunter: World by enhancing gameplay mechanics and offering a more immersive hunting experience.
