Monster Hunter Wilds Special Event This Weekend
Monster Hunter Wilds appears to be the most ambitious of the series, borrowing elements from Monster Hunter World and Monster Hunter Rise. Having already witnessed two more betas providing players with a taste of the action, anticipation for its official release on February 28th is really high now. To add to the suspense, Capcom spilled the news about a special event about two days before the official release. Details are scarce, but fans can expect exclusive content and insights from the devs. The event will be held physically and also streamed live to a global audience.
Capcom & PlayStation Japan Present Exclusive Showcase
A collaboration between Capcom and PlayStation Japan for "PLAY! PLAY! PLAY! Monster Hunter Wilds Special Event" is on for February 22 starting at 17:00 JST. Special guest appearances include Ryozo Tsujimoto (producer) and Yuuya Tokuda (director), while Hatsuna Matsushima will be the host.
What To Expect from Monster Hunter Wilds Event?
Though Capcom is very tight-lipped on heavy details, fans speculate possible announcements. Being days ahead of launch, there is little chance anything groundbreaking can be announced. However, the event is likely to showcase hours of gameplay footage. One confirmed highlight will also be the first look at the arena field where players can have battles against captured monsters.
Additionally, with the producer and director on site, Capcom might use this opportunity to highlight the co-op gameplay mechanics. Fans might see high-level multiplayer gameplay and catch a glimpse of the game's tactical combat system.
Watch Out for Monster Hunter Wilds
Even before its official release, Monster Hunter Wilds has recorded optimistic pre-orders and special promotions. Certainly, Capcom has announced the DLC and free bonuses coming to players.
