Monster Hunter Wilds

Monster Hunter Wilds is a 2025 action role-playing game developed and published by Capcom, and the sixth mainline entry in the Monster Hunter series. It follows a Hunter dispatched by the Guild into the Forbidden Lands, a newly-reached frontier where environments shift with dynamic weather and seasons. The story centers on a young boy named Nata, who fled this savage region, as the Hunter seeks to find his home village and unravel why the lands are changing. The game expands the series' hunting loop into a vast open world with living monster ecosystems, a customizable Seikret mount, the new Focus Mode wound-breaking combat, and the full 14-weapon arsenal cast in a seamless, low-friction structure designed to keep players on the hunt.

• 14 Weapon Types: Every weapon class returns, from the Great Sword, Long Sword, and Charge Blade to the Insect Glaive, Switch Axe, and ranged Bow and Bowguns, each with full combos and their own playstyle.
• Focus Mode & Wounds: Toggling Focus Mode highlights monster weak points and wounds; striking an opened wound with a Focus Strike deals bonus damage and breaks the part, feeding the game's wound-seeking combat loop.
• Living Ecosystem & Weather: The Forbidden Lands feature dynamic inclement weather and seasons that physically change each map, alter monster behavior, trigger turf wars, and introduce new endemic life.
• Seikret Mount: A customizable bird-lizard mount lets the Hunter traverse the open field quickly, calls out item support, and even carries a spare weapon for mid-hunt swaps.
• Monster Herds & Large-Monster Ecology: Large monsters roam in herds and herds of small monsters, establishing complex ecologies with turf wars, environmental interactions, and day and night cycles.
• Streamlined Hunting Loop: On-the-fly quest management, pop-up camps across each map, and lower-friction multiplayer de-emphasize grinding so players spend more time actually hunting.
