Time to hunt some monsters!

The new story-based trailer has been revealed for Monster Hunter Wilds at the Capcom Spotlight event. Along with that, Capcom has revealed so many new things, information on open beta and many other things.

The game is scheduled to be released on February 28, 2025, with the second open beta going live on February 6, 2025. Let’s check out more details in this article.

New threats & familiar faces in Monster Hunter Wilds

The icy landscapes of the Iceshard Cliffs are pretty well-known and they will be returning with some well-known monsters from the previous game as well.

Hirabami, a newcomer to the series, was presented, demonstrating its ability to float and attack from the air, usually in groups of three. This makes strategic isolation critical to overcoming these aerial dangers.

This new trailer also revealed information on Arkveld, the game’s poster monster. This monster was shown in engagement in a turf war with Rey Dau.

There were also some hints and teases about the possible transformation akin to Alatreon’s energy-infused sequences. Additionally, fan favorites Nerscylla and Gore Magala return, bringing back memories for long-time players.
