The second Monster Hunter Wilds trailer was shared online today, providing a new look at the next entry in the series by CAPCOM launching next year on PC and consoles.
The new trailer, which was shared during today's State of Play, also features some short gameplay sequences that seemingly confirm weapon swapping. The hunter in the trailer switched on the fly from Greatsword to Heavy Bowgun. Unlike its predecessor, Monster Hunter Wilds also seems to bring other aspects of hunting monsters that were missing from it, such as tracking and trapping.
While Monster Hunter Wilds will apparently be a slightly different game, Monster Hunter Rise is still a game worth playing for any fans of the series, featuring tight gameplay, a huge amount of content, and some pretty cool mechanics, such as the Switch Skills introduced in the Sunbreak expansion. You can learn more about this expansion in my review.
With its huge number of new and returning monsters, new gameplay mechanics, and great refinements to the formula, Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak is the massive expansion that the latest entry in the series deserved to get. While the jump from High Rank to Master Rank doesn't feel as big as it was in previous entries in the series, Sunbreak does so many things well that most of the hunters traveling to Elgado and the Citadel will hardly be bothered by it.
Monster Hunter Wilds is launching sometime in 2025 on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S. We will keep you updated on the game as soon as more is revealed, so stay tuned for all the latest news.
