A creative Pokemon fan has come up with a creative concept of armor for a Monster Hunter character, based off of the popular Pokemon Metagross. The fan-made armor set, which cleverly utilizes many of the distinguishable body components that make up Metagross, seems to be grabbing the attention of quite a few Pokemon and Monster Hunter fans alike.
Insider Shoots Down Monster Hunter Wilds Rumors
29.03.2024 - 18:27 / gamerant.com / John DiCarlo
An insider has said that recent «leaks» regarding Monster Hunter Wilds were fake. The leaks claimed that Monster Hunter Wilds would release in Q1 2025, among other things.
Monster Hunter Wilds was officially announced at The Game Awards 2023. Its trailer showcased a harsh desert environment filled with fantastical creatures. Since then, Capcom has not released any additional gameplay, leading fans to grow increasingly eager for more news regarding the anticipated title. It seems that a manipulative fan took advantage of the community's curiosity to spread false information.
Recently, alleged screenshots from Dusk Golem's Discord server claimed to show that the insider had revealed new information about the game. These included claims like Monster Hunter Wilds being Capcom's biggest game ever by far, a fully open-world format, a Q1 2025 release, a Godzilla-like monster, and more. However, Dusk Golem took to their Twitter account to say these messages were not posted by them and were instead faked. For now, it seems like the safest bet is to wait for official news regarding the game.
While the leaks were fabricated, Capcom previously confirmed a 2025 release window for Monster Hunter Wilds. It's possible that Monster Hunter Wilds' 2024 plans don't hold much in store for fans, as Capcom's marketing efforts might stay focused on the recently released Dragon's Dogma 2 for a good chunk of the year. History would suggest that Capcom will release a demo for the next Monster Hunter entry leading up to its release. However, the demos for World and Rise dropped shortly before launch, so Wilds' demo likely won't be seen until 2025.
Monster Hunter World continues to sell strongly and attract new fans. Capcom revealed earlier in March that the game had surpassed 25 million copies sold, and as of December 2023, the series as a whole had moved 97 million units, making the 100 million mark a realistic target for this year. The massive and enduring success of the Monster Hunter series suggests that Capcom is investing significant resources in the 2025 title, despite the disappointingly fake leaks.
The marketing approach for Monster Hunter Wilds has already set a new precedent. Its reveal came far ahead of its official release window, unlike World and Rise, and its first trailer keeps the project more mysterious than the previous games' initial trailers.
Monster Hunter Wilds is the latest entry in Capcom's decorated franchise, and the game is expected to launch in 2025.
