Monster Hunter: Wilds promises a groundbreaking open-world adventure, setting a new standard for the beloved RPG franchise and solidifying its position as one of 2025's most anticipated titles.

The expansive wilderness setting features diverse ecosystems and a vast array of challenging monsters. The initial beta provided a taste of the narrative, character creation, and tutorial hunts.
