A new trailer for Monster Hunter Wilds was presented at the Summer Game Fest 2024. The video shows some monster hunting sequences and they look even more dynamic than ever before.
What could change in the fighting? In the trailer, a group of monster hunters were hunted by several sand monsters. The tables were then turned and each sand monster was killed individually. But there were also gameplay scenes in which a strange monster appeared – and was engulfed by several sand monsters at once.
This could indicate that we will not only encounter individual monsters on the missions, but several enemies at once. In Monster Hunter World, there was already the special feature that several large enemies could encounter each other. This meant that the monsters were weakened by other enemies before we had to deal with them.
In Monster Hunter Wilds, this concept seems to have been taken to a higher level. The monsters may be able to interact with multiple enemies at once, which can only be an advantage for us hunters.

What other innovations are there? Unlike Monster Hunter World, Monster Hunter Wilds will probably offer an open world. Until now, the Monster Hunter series was known for offering individual areas as maps that were only connected by corridors.
If the assumption that there is an open world turns out to be true, this would also mean that more monsters could theoretically encounter each other in the open world. This would make the battles much more dynamic and unpredictable, which could make for more fun hunts.
Either way, the desert world looked simply fantastic in the trailer. The developers also revealed that fans of the series can look forward to the return of a certain monster. The enemy can be seen towards the end of the video and turns out to be a Thunder Wyvern. The thunder effects, like the rest of the trailer, also look fantastic.
Capcom can’t complain at the moment. Many development studios have to lay off their employees, but Capcom is actually increasing their salaries. Newcomers to the company who have just graduated from university are to receive around 400 euros more per year: Many developers are laying off their staff – Capcom, on the other hand, is planning to increase salaries
