Capcom has revealed a new trailer for Monster Hunter Wilds, giving players an in-depth look at the game ahead of its 2025 worldwide release.

Check out an overview of the newly released information for Monster Hunter Wilds below:

The Living World
A world with an ever-changing climate.
Life here has learned to adapt to the harsh environments, the wildlife developing its own ecosystem, and the humans developing their own culture within it.

Changing Climates
Each hunting locale features an environment with two dynamically changing identities: one in which the region is harsh and unforgiving where ravenous monsters fight for limited resources—and another in which the region is vibrant and brimming with life.
Changes in the environment also means changes for the monsters and wildlife that live there, so you’ll be
running into new surprises around every corner.

Monster Hunter Wilds Ecosystems

Windward Plains
As a member of the Research Commission charged with investigating the Forbidden Lands, the Windward
Plains is the first new hunting locale you’ll visit.
The Plains are a diverse region filled with sandy deserts, swaying grasslands, twisting rock formations, and other natural wonders.

Monster Hunter Wilds – Monsters of the Windward Plains

Doshaguma – Fanged Beast
Rugged, territorial fanged beasts that exhibit an aggressive disposition and inhabit a large range. Sometimes observed in large packs.

Chatacabra – Amphibian
A large species of amphibians that use the adhesive quality of their saliva to affix stone to their forelimbs in order to power up their attacks.

Ceratonoth – Herbivore
They protect surrounding females from lightning by catching lightning strikes with their well-developed dorsal horns on their backs and releasing them to the ground. They form large flocks centered around males.

Dalthydon – Herbivore
This herbivorous dragon changes its habitat depending on the season. When it senses danger, it will sometimes take a defensive posture with its well-developed head shell and fight back.

Monster Hunter Wilds Monster Mount – Seikret

The Seikret is an animal mount whose exceptional agility will provide the hunter with crucial support out on hunts. Its well-developed sense of smell allows it to guide you automatically to your current objective, or any location you select on the map.
You can also use your slinger and certain kinds of items while mounted, allowing you to comfortably restore your health, sharpen your weapons, or even gather materials while on the move.
Your Seikret isn’t just for travel, though—you can also stash an extra weapon in its weapon sling, allowing you to switch between two weapons of your choice while out on hunts.

Monster Hunter Wilds – Ultimate Hunting Action

Hunters will be able to use a total of 14 weapon types, all of which have new action features and new moves for each weapon type:

• Great Sword
• Long Sword
• Sword & Shield
• Dual Blades
• Hammer
• Hunting Horn
• Lance
• Gunlance
• Switch Axe

Focus Mode
Focus Mode allows you to aim your attacks and guard abilities. You can also use Focus Mode to pinpoint
monster weaknesses, which can be targeted with special new attacks that will deal big damage!
By making it easier to space yourself and aim your attacks during hunts, Focus Mode will make it even
easier for players of all stripes to get in on the hunting action.
Some weapons will even have other new moves and abilities.

Slinger
The slinger returns as an indispensable hunter tool. Use it to fire rocks, seeds, and other natural ammo, or
even use it to trigger objects in the environment.

Hook Slinger
The hook slinger is the newest evolution of the slinger, allowing you to gather all types of materials from a distance. It can be used while mounted on a Seikret, and can even be used to interact with certain
environmental objects or trigger traps.
