What is Monster Hunter Wilds?
Monster Hunter Wilds is the latest installment in a long-running series. Due to its graphically intensive nature, it is more of a sequel to Monster Hunter Worlds than Rise. And as such, it will not be available on Nintendo consoles.
Once again, you play the role of a Hunter in a world full of perilous beasts. Your task is to choose a weapon type/game style and apply it to hunt enormous monsters roaming the land. You then apply their various parts to create better equipment that will allow you to hunt bigger and more perilous monsters. This time you have the mobility of Monster Hunter Rise, with magnificent beasts and World environments, creating what can be the best of both worlds.
