Monster Hunter Wilds News

Monster Hunter Wilds is a smart sequel making all the right decisions

I'll never be one to bemoan my privilege to play much-anticipated games early, yet getting just an hour to go hands-on with Monster Hunter Wilds is as agonizing as it is delightful. I adore Capcom's beloved RPG series, and Monster Hunter World - the storied developer's best-selling game to date - had me hooked for 2,000 hours before I had my fill of its Iceborne expansion. Spending such a brief time with the sequel at Gamescom 2024, then, is like licking my favorite ice cream once and then walking away. With that said, I'm pleased to report that Monster Hunter Wilds tastes more delicious than ever.

Monster Hunter Wilds Focus Mode explained

How does focus mode work in Monster Hunter Wilds? It was frustrating to aim and block attacks using certain gear in previous Monster Hunter games, which meant we didn't try out as many weapons or veer away from our favorites as we may have liked to. Thankfully, Capcom is adding a new focus mode to Monster Hunter Wilds that makes it easier to aim attacks, here's what we know.

The Monster Hunter Wilds release date is nearing, and although we've still got some waiting to do for the upcoming game, we have been treated to new details on what to expect from the RPG game next year.
