Monster Hunter Wilds: release date, gameplay, preorder, and more

It is time to sharpen your blades, stock up on potions, and eat a hearty meal because a new hunt is approaching. Monster Hunter Wilds was revealed at The Game Awards 2023, and it looks to be the biggest and baddest entry in the entire hunting genre.

Ever since the series hit it big with Monster Hunter: World, it has attracted fans the world over. Some were a little disappointed with the last entry, Monster Hunter Rise, due to it first coming to Switch before being ported to PC, PlayStation, and Xbox consoles at a later date. This time, Capcom doesn’t seem to be holding back, so let’s follow the tracks and hunt down all the details about Monster Hunter Wilds.

Release date

Monster Hunter Wilds is confirmed to arrive on February 28, 2025.

Platforms

We follow a character racing atop some new monster mount as a stampede of monsters chases them through the desert and a massive wall of clouds approaches. This causes a lightning storm, only further adding to the chaos. In total, it is a very brief tease with a lot left to speculate on.

The next trailer, called 1st Trailer, was shown at PlayStation’s State of Play in May 2024. We get a bit of story with a crew riding a sand ship across a massive desert, but the main focus is showing off new gameplay.
