Monster Hunter Wilds Gameplay Trailer Showcases New Monsters, Locations, and More

The new desert region is filled with new monsters and points of interest, while the Greatsword gets some impressive new moves.

Capcom finally debuted a more extensive gameplay look at Monster Hunter Wilds, its next title in the long-running action RPG series. It sees the main cast venturing to a new desert biome that’s massive in size, teeming with new indigenous wildlife. That also means new monsters. Check it out below.

Some new monsters include a giant bear-like thing that travels in packs. Players can lure away the leader, collapsing rocks to stop the others from following. There’s also a toad-like monster that attacks with its tongue and charges ahead. As with Monster Hunter World, smaller monsters can attack the larger foes, providing a much-needed distraction.

While there weren’t any new weapon types, the Greatsword has an impressive new ability where it parries attacks and follows up with a charging slash. Monster Hunter Wilds launches in 2025 for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. Capcom promised more details this Summer, so stay tuned for updates in the coming weeks.
