Monster Hunter Wilds is set for release for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S. Much like in its predecessor, the player assumes the role of a customizable Hunter. The game’s story follows their journey to the Forbidden Lands, a vast, uninhabited region teeming with dangerous creatures, as they search for a missing expedition team. Gameplay involves tracking down and battling monsters. Defeating them yields valuable resources, including monster parts, which can be used alongside other gathered materials to craft new weapons, armor, and consumables.
