Monster Hunter’s combination of fearsome beasts and giant weapons is back. In Monster Hunter Wilds, players explore a new land — previously thought to be uninhabited — in the hopes of solving the mystery behind a new giant beast. Wilds has everything we expect from Monster Hunter games: challenging fights across lush landscapes, and the rewards of awesome armor sets and better gear carved directly from the last beast taken down.
