FEATURES
• Wild New Adventure – Monster Hunter Wilds follows
the story of a special Research Commission investigating the Forbidden
Lands. Fully voiced for the first time in the series, the hunter is
joined in their journey by a colorful cast of characters, including a
Palico partner, Guild-appointed Handler Alma, trusty smithy Gemma, and
the mysterious
child Nata. Together, the team ventures into an unexplored new frontier where surprises await around every corner.
- A Living World – The Forbidden Lands spans multiple biomes with
dynamic identities, such as the Windward Plains and Scarlet Forest,
where the ecosystems shift between vibrant seasons brimming with life,
and unforgiving climates where monsters fight over limited resources.
Changes in the landscape will impact the creatures that live there and push hunters to adapt as well.
- New Monsters and Wildlife – Monster Hunter Wilds features a
variety of new creatures, ranging from herds of small species to large
monsters – some of which roam the Forbidden Lands in packs. Every
creature hunters encounter in the wild has carved out a special place in
its habitat and possesses unique attacks and behaviors. Players can
also
now ride atop the Seikret, an agile new mount enabling hunters
to traverse difficult terrain, perform actions like sharpening weapons
on the move, and switch between two weapons while out on hunts! - Evolved Hunting Action – The series’ acclaimed action-packed
gameplay is back and more exciting than ever! Hunters can look forward
to tracking down monsters with an array of new moves, special abilities,
equipment, and more. The action also now flows seamlessly from
cutscenes to gameplay, resulting in a new level of immersion.
- Crossplay Multiplayer – Alongside the option to enjoy the story
of Monster Hunter Wilds solo, hunters can join up to three other
players across any platform to explore the world together and take on
the game’s challenges as a hunting party or receive aid from notable
story characters as Support Hunter NPCs.
