Capcom has announced Monster Hunter Wilds, the next entry in the action series. Revealed as part of The Game Awards, the reveal trailer showed a hunter riding a bird through a large desert during a sandstorm. Monster Hunter Wilds is releasing on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC.

While the trailer revealed very little about the next entry in the series, the name suggests that the game could feature much larger areas than previous entries. In the trailer, a hunter is shown riding a ostrich-like creature through a large desert, weaving between some smaller monsters. No large monsters were shown, but the trailer does end on top of cliff, overlooking a massive area.

The trailer does seemingly confirm the return of rideable mounts, which were introduced in Monster Hunter Rise with the Palamutes. Monster Hunter Wilds releases in 2025 on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC. For more from The Game Awards, check out GameSpot's round-ups of every game announcement and every award winner.

Called it, Capcom was never going to release Dragon's Dogma 2 and Monster Hunter 6/ Wilds in the same year. That would be stupid. MH is a much bigger draw than Dogma so if anything would have cost Dogma a lot of sales releasing MH in a close window.

Means more monsters, armor, and weapons on release though. Hype.

Never played Monster Hunter game and I'm not one for the survival type games either, but for some reason this made me think the Monster Hunter formula, from all I've read about it, would suit the survival genre. Maybe it wouldn't though, I dunno...just a passing thought.

@esqueejy: Monster Hunter isn't a Survival game, it's an ARPG that is focused on gear and a quest structure. You grab a quest usually involving hunting a monster, you go kill or capture it any way you see fit, then return to the hub to grab more quests.

The best game shown. The game better launch with an actual endgame, tho, cuz what was in Word and Rise is beyond unacceptable.

@hardwenzen: MH4 didn't have an end game until MH4G so good luck with that buddy.

Wait for Wilds year long added content or G Rank expansion if you require more content. Me? already have it pre-ordered because MH is the best.
