Anyone who waited for news about Monster Hunter Wilds at the Game Awards will come away empty-handed

Many Monster Hunter Wilds fans have been looking forward to the Game Awards. However, there was no new information about this. Instead, Capcom made a series of announcements about other new games and another offshoot of Monster Hunter. This approach confuses the community and causes speculation.

Why are fans confused? Due to Monster Hunter Wilds’ nomination in the “Most Anticipated Game” category, players were hoping for new fodder in the form of a new trailer or fresh information. But even though Capcom was there with a lot of new input, the hotly anticipated title remained quiet.

Many fans respond to Capcom’s decision with incomprehension (for example via Reddit). Where else would you be able to reach so many different people at the same time so easily with new information and once again draw attention to the publication on February 28, 2025? The community senses a missed opportunity and is discussing the reasons on social media.

The absence of MH Wilds could be a missed opportunity

What reasons do fans suspect? In a thread on Reddit, the community is currently discussing why there was no new information during the event. They express different ideas:

  • jolovan writes on Reddit: “To me this feels like a completely missed opportunity. The Game Awards is THE biggest gaming event and then they decide not to show anything for Wilds.”
  • Opression_Rod shared via Reddit: “Maybe they’ll make an announcement in the next week or so? Maybe they just wanted their own stage? But why? I’ll be worried about the state of the game if they don’t have something new to announce soon.”
  • Sheepish47 writes worriedly via Reddit: “It honestly wouldn’t surprise me if this is an indication that the game is being postponed.”

    • A very understandable reason given by the community is that Monster Hunter Wilds probably shouldn’t steal the spotlight from the other announcements. Most people consider this reason to be the most likely. In addition, it is often assumed that there will be a separate event that could take place closer to the release in February.

    What has Capcom announced? Instead of bringing new fodder for fans of Monster Hunter Wilds, Capcom introduced their new games Onimusha and a sequel to Ōkami. According to the community, these relatively smaller brands tended to lag behind new information about Monster Hunter Wilds.

    Anyone who fundamentally celebrates the Monster Hunter franchise could look forward to a new season for Monster Hunter Now, the mobile spin-off, and a promo code during the event. So do you solve the code “TGA2024” in the game, you will receive exclusive items.

    So you’ll probably have to wait a little longer for major new information for Monster Hunter Wilds.
