The Hunt Evolves Like Never Before

Monster Hunter: World felt like the peak, but Monster Hunter Wilds is here to shatter that illusion. This beast-slaying odyssey transforms the hunt, reshaping landscapes, combat, and every primal clash into something fierce, rich, and unmissable.

Capcom is pulling you deeper into the hunt, building a reactive world. Ecosystems shift, weather turns without warning, and monsters stalk, hunt, and fight like true apex predators. Whether you’ve slain Elder Dragons or are still getting the hang of a Great Sword, Wilds is built to grip you to the core.

Wilds throws you into a world that never sits still—lush valleys roll into scorching deserts, storms tear through battlegrounds, and creatures roam, hunt, and fight like natives of the lands. But you’re not just along for the ride—your hunter is evolving, too. With new ways to move, fresh mechanics, and gear built to handle whatever's thrown at you, this hunt is bigger and more alive than ever.

A World That Fights Back

Capcom is making Monster Hunter Wilds sharper, deadlier, and full of surprises. The Forbidden Lands pulse with life, shifting with the forces of nature, creatures that roam, and the choices you make.

Dynamic weather and a real-time day-night cycle shape the way you hunt. A vast desert might seem like an open playground at dawn, but when a sandstorm rolls in, it becomes a disorienting nightmare, cutting visibility and stirring up new threats. One minute, you're tracking a monster through dense jungle, and the next, a torrential downpour turns the terrain into a muddy battlefield. You're forced to rethink your approach on the fly.

Monsters evolve as well to the ever changing environment. They respond to weather, the time of day, and even your actions. Some become more aggressive in storms, while others use the shifting terrain to their advantage. What was once familiar now feels wild, untamed, and unpredictable.

In Wilds, nature is admirable and something to survive. Adapt, strategize, or get left behind, because this world fights back.

New Tools, New Tactics

Monster Hunter Wilds' expanding world shifts the way you hunt. With new mechanics designed to streamline movement and deepen combat, hunters have more control, flexibility, and ways to dominate the battlefield.

• Seikret Mounts: No more endless trekking between battles. These wyvern-like companions are part of the hunt. Chase down fleeing prey, reposition in the heat of combat, and stay locked in the fight.

• Focus Mode: Combat is sharper and more strategic, allowing you to target weak spots with precision. From slicing tendons to staggering monsters mid-attack, or breaking armor, every strike feels deliberate. Skill and strategy reap rewards in a way that makes the hunt more intense and satisfying.

Monsters More Fearsome Than Ever

New lands bring new apex predators, and Monster Hunter Wilds is unleashing some of the most terrifying, unpredictable creatures the series has ever seen. These monsters react to the world, adapt to their surroundings, and shift behaviors with the weather to weaponize the environment against you.

• Quematrice: This brute wyvern turns the battlefield into a deathtrap, drenching everything in a flammable liquid just waiting to ignite. Get careless, and you won’t just be fighting it—you’ll be fighting the fire, too.

• Uth Duna: This elusive leviathan moves with the storm, only surfacing in heavy rain. It uses the downpour as cover, striking with eerie precision before slipping back into the depths, always watching, and waiting to strike again.

And that’s just the beginning. Expect a diverse mix of brand new terrors and returning legends, making Wilds one of the most varied, unpredictable, and exhilarating rosters in Monster Hunter history. Adapt or be hunted.

Hunt Solo or Squad Up

Whether you prefer to go it alone or team up with friends, Monster Hunter Wilds has a hunting experience tailored just for you. The game keeps its signature four-player online co-op, letting you and your squad coordinate, strategize, and take down towering beasts together. But for those who love the thrill of a solo hunt, Capcom is ensuring you’re never alone.

For the first time Wilds brings AI-companion support hunters into the hunt. These allies fight beside you, track monsters, set traps, and draw attention when needed. They’re more than just backup—they adapt, strategize, and make sure even solo hunters stand a chance against the fiercest beasts.

Whether you thrive in a full hunting party or prefer the lone hunter’s path, Wilds makes sure every battle feels balanced, thrilling, and all your own.

More Story, More Personality

Monster Hunter Wilds is making the hunt feel more personal. New to the series, your hunter now has a real voice—reacting, strategizing, and actually speaking in the story. No more silent nods, just a character who feels alive in a rapidly moving world.

Your Palico finally has a voice, and it’s not shy about using it. These feline companions call out warnings, celebrate wins, and throw in the perfect quip at just the right moment. Whether it’s a fierce battle cry or a cheeky remark, they make every hunt feel a little less lonely and a lot more fun.

Your hunter is truly yours to shape. With more ways to tweak faces, hairstyles, and armor, you’re crafting a legend that looks and feels like your own.
