Monster Hunter Wilds Gets Overview Trailers

Capcom released a trio of overview trailers for the upcoming Monster Hunter Wilds. The videos feature a basic mechanics trailer — which gives a look at general gameplay elements including riding a Seikret and slinger functions — plus a look at the new Focus Mode mechanic and a weapon overview of the Great Sword, one of the fourteen weapon types available in the game.

Monster Hunter Wilds is planned for release in 2025 on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. The game sees players joining a special Research Commission investigating an area called the Forbidden Lands. It is planned to feature seamless transitions from story sequences into gameplay and will also add new Seikret mounts, which can guide the riders to planned destinations and let them perform actions such as sharpening weapons and gathering materials while riding, as well as swapping to a secondary weapon without needing to return to base.
