Capcom has officially unveiled the next installment in its hit action RPG series, 'Monster Hunter Wilds,' during The Game Awards 2023. Slated for release in 2025, the game will be available on Xbox, PS5, and PC via Steam. The debut trailer showcases a new desert environment, complete with dynamic weather conditions, including a massive dust storm accompanied by lightning. Players will explore this new setting with bird-like mounts amidst various monsters, hinting at potential new creatures and challenges.

'Monster Hunter Wilds' continues the legacy of 'Monster Hunter World,' which significantly expanded the franchise's fanbase with its release on Xbox and PlayStation 4 in 2018. Following the franchise's success with 'Monster Hunter World,' which sold over 17 million units by 2021, and 'Monster Hunter Rise,' Capcom aims to capture players' attention once again with this upcoming title.

Originally launched on the PlayStation 2, 'Monster Hunter' gained a dedicated following through its cooperative play, challenging up to four players to team up against formidable beasts using an arsenal of weapons. The series found particular success on handheld platforms like the PlayStation Portable, with its emphasis on multiplayer experiences.
