While Minato won’t welcome most WILD HEARTS players until later this week, EA Play and Game Pass Ultimate subscribers can play early. An early access trial is available for all platforms and allows playing for up to 10 hours. That’s enough time to jump into the game, get a feel for the combat, upgrade systems, Karakuri, and much more.
Those subscribed to EA Play Pro on PC can access the Karakuri Edition. Along with the base game, five Chat Stamps and an emote, it includes the Karakuri Samurai and Karakuri Ninja armor sets, a Decorative Tsukomo Lantern, and three more emotes for $90.
WILD HEARTS launches on February 17th for Xbox Series X/S, PS5 and PC. It features a main story that will take about 30 hours to complete, 20 Kemono to battle, eight weapon types, and various armor sets to craft. After the story, players delve into the end-game with Volatile Kemono and other threats.
