Capcom has announced that the upcoming Monster Hunter Wilds will be out early next year on February 28th 2025!
Along with this announcement, Capcom has released a new story trailer for Wilds, showcasing the main cast as they come across a mysterious new monster of legend.
Here's the full announcement via the PlayStation Blog:
Introducing the flagship monster for Monster Hunter Wilds, Arkveld
A Hunter on a Seikret and Olivia, a member of the Research Commission stand face-to-face with a mysterious new threat that lies at the center of the story, Arkveld.
Arkveld
A monster from a long extinct species, shrouded in mystery. It bears uniquely shaped, chain-like wings.
Prologue
A few years ago, on the border of the Forbidden Lands, never investigated by the Guild, a boy named Nata is rescued.
Using Nata’s cryptic words as a clue, the Forbidden Lands Research Commission is assembled to investigate the mysterious monster that attacked.
The journey of the Research Committee to investigate the monster, called the “White Wraith,” and to rescue Nata’s beleaguered people, known as “the Keepers,” begins now.
The Guild forms several units, each consisting of three people and one animal: a Hunter, a Handler, a Smithy, and a Palico. There is the Avis Unit in which the protagonist belongs, and Astrum Unit, to which Olivia and others belong.
Erik, a biologist who belongs to the Astrum Unit.
Werner, an engineer who belongs to the Astrum Unit.
The Contrasting changes in the Scarlet Forest
Previously revealed in our last trailer, the Scarlet Forest is a new locale with a colorful ecosystem of monsters, rich vegetation, and abundant, red-tined rivers. Like the Windward Plains, the Scarlet Forest also features its own unique environmental changes.
The Fallow of the Scarlet Forest
The distinctive, red-tinted river for which the Scarlet Forest earns its name.
Inclemency of the Scarlet Forest, Downpour
A heavy downpour batters the environment, reducing visibility and causing the water currents to surge.
The Plenty of the Scarlet Forest
After the storm breaks, the sun shines through the trees in the dense forest, making way for bright blue skies and water as the plants and creatures change…
Fishing in Monster Hunter Wilds allows you to bait prey using lures. Relax by fishing while enjoying the refreshing greenery and water!
Explore the destroyed beauty of the nearby rubble in the vibrant weather of this period. Use the nearby Wedge Beetles with your Slinger to swing around or explore the vast field on the back of your Seikret. As always, you can set a destination on your field map and your Seikret will automatically take you there.
Inhabitants of the Scarlet Forest, Wudwuds
The Scarlet Forest is home to the Wudwuds, a tribe of Lynian. What kind of life do they lead, and how have they adapted to life in this ever-changing environment?
Wudwud hideout in the Scarlet Forest.
Brand new monsters have been discovered
The apex predator of the Scarlet Forest, Uth Duna
A Leviathan type monster that appears during the Downpour, the Inclemency of the Scarlet Forest. It wears a veil of water created from an ingredient secreted from its body.
Quematrice turns up the heat
New to Monster Hunter Wilds, Quematrice is a Brute Wyvern that inhabits the Windward Plains.
It sprays a flammable substance that ignites into flames from sparks it emits by scraping the ground with its tail.
