Check out the new details below.

Trailer #6: Into the Iceshard Cliffs

Monster Hunter Wilds is nearly here! Just weeks away from the action RPG‘s February 28 release, producer Ryozo Tsujimoto presented the latest news for the highly anticipated title. The showcase debuted a fresh trailer unveiling a frosty new locale, the Iceshard Cliffs. Within this snowcapped and rocky region dwells a never-before-seen monster, Hirabami. These Leviathans possess sail-like membranes that allow them to float and strike from the air with their razor-sharp tails. The trailer also revealed two returning fan-favorite monsters: Nerscylla and Gore Magala!

Open Beta Test 2

Capcom is hosting a second Open Beta Test for Monster Hunter Wilds later this month, and Tsujimoto had one more surprise for players. Hunters will be able to challenge Arkveld, the game’s flagship monster, when the beta returns! In addition to this chance to hunt the “White Wraith,” Open Beta Test 2 will introduce returning monster Gypceros, the Base Camp’s Training Area, and additional online features, such as Private Lobbies and Online Single Player mode.

Just like the previous beta, Open Beta Test 2 includes character creation with transferable data, a story mission, and free-roaming hunts with cross-platform multiplayer. However, please note the beta does not contain the recently announced performance and balance adjustments, as the development team is focused on implementing these improvements for the full game’s release. Monster Hunter Wilds Open Beta Test 2 runs from Thursday, February 6 at 7:00 p.m. PT / 10:00 p.m. ET to Sunday, February 9 at 6:59 p.m. PT / 9:59 p.m. ET and Thursday, February 13 at 7:00 p.m. PT / 10:00 p.m. ET to Sunday, February 16 at 6:59 p.m. PT / 9:59 p.m. ET.

Photo Mode, Customization Options, and PlayStation 5 Pro Support

The showcase also highlighted various special features, including Photo Mode, customization options, and PlayStation 5 Pro support. PlayStation 5 Pro Enhanced features will be available upon launch, offering state-of-the-art technologies such as ray tracing and PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) delivering even more immersive visuals.

Post-Launch Limited-Time Event Quests

Monster Hunter Wilds is now available for pre-order across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. Starting one week following the game’s launch on February 28, limited-time event quests will be introduced with special armor that players can earn as rewards.

About

Monster Hunter Wilds is the highly anticipated next evolution in the award-winning Monster Hunter franchise. Coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Steam for PC on February 28, 2025, the latest entry in the beloved series of co-op action RPGs takes the thrill of hunting larger-than-life foes in expansive natural environments to immersive new heights. The story transports players to the Forbidden Lands, a mysterious wilderness that can transform in unexpected ways. This living world is teeming with rugged wildlife adapted to an ever-changing climate, including massive monsters that players will take on in action-packed encounters. As hunters, players protect the balance of the ecosystem, utilizing resources from hunts to craft powerful gear and continue investigating the mysteries at the heart of these new lands.

Key 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 and Wildlife – Monster Hunter Wilds features a variety of new creatures, ranging from herds of small species to large monsters—some of which roam the Forbidden Lands in packs. Every creature hunters 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!

Evolved Hunting Action – The series’ acclaimed action-packed gameplay is back and more exciting than ever! Hunters can look forward to tracking down monsters with an array of new moves, special abilities, equipment, and more. The action also now flows seamlessly from cutscenes to gameplay, resulting in a new level of immersion.

Cross-Play Multiplayer – Alongside the option to enjoy the story of Monster Hunter Wilds solo, hunters can join up to three other players across any platform to explore the world together and take on the game’s challenges as a hunting party or receive aid from notable story characters as Support Hunter NPCs.
