Features

  • Wild new adventure

    Monster Hunter Wilds follows the story of a special Research Commission investigating the Forbidden Lands. Fully voiced for the first time in the series, the hunter is joined in their journey by a colorful cast of characters, including a Palico partner, Guild-appointed Handler Alma, trusty smithy Gemma, and the mysterious child Nata. Together, the team ventures into an unexplored new frontier where surprises await around every corner.

  • A living world

    The Forbidden Lands spans multiple biomes with dynamic identities, such as the Windward Plains and Scarlet Forest, where the ecosystems shift between vibrant seasons brimming with life, and unforgiving climates where monsters fight over limited resources. Changes in the landscape will impact the creatures that live there and push hunters to adapt as well.

  • New monsters

Every creature hunter encounter in the wild has carved out a special place in its habitat and possesses unique attacks and behaviors. Players can also now ride atop the Seikret, an agile new mount enabling hunters to traverse difficult terrain, perform actions like sharpening weapons on the move, and switch between two weapons while out on hunts!

    Stellar entry into the series

    Coming from being a long time player of Monster hunter World - and someone who wasn’t a fan of Monster hunter rise - this game has been a great new entry into the series. It’s a lot more user friendly for new comers and still has the same, but more polished, gameplay and mechanics that made a fan to begin with. Looking forward to spending more time in the wilds! If you’re looking for a great game with an open world to get pulled into it. You like the progression grind of building your character and changing on the fly according to your mission - this one is for you! Highly recommend you at least give it a try.

    Same Hunt New Polish

    Monster Hunter Wilds brings the same level of excitement as the previous titles but on a more cinematic scale. If you’re new to the series starting with this one is wise because you get all of the amazing gameplay from the past but on modern equipment! It’s worth the purchase.

    Amazing game!!

    The environments are just so breathtaking, and the monster fighting is crazy fun, too! It's the first game I've really played much of in the Monster Hunter series, but I've had a blast with it so far! Would definitely recommend to those who enjoy action with a diverse range of ways to fight. Oh, also fighting huge monsters. Its multiplayer does leave a lot to be desired, though, and the scoutflies can be pretty annoying at times.

    Incredible combat depth with a cinematic focus

    Monster Hunter Wilds represents a bold, cinematic evolution for the franchise. The combat feels sharper and more fluid than ever, thanks to the brilliant addition of Focus Mode and the ability to carry a secondary weapon on your Seikret mount. The weather-shifting ecosystems are dynamic and visually striking on the PS5. However, the game leans significantly harder into an on-rails narrative with unskippable cutscenes in the early hours, making it feel a bit too hand-holdy for series veterans. While performance has stabilized with recent updates, there are still some noticeable framerate drops during chaotic hunts. Overall, it's a massive, highly accessible action-RPG that's a blast to play with friends, even if the progression feels a bit streamlined compared to past entries.
