Monster Hunter Wilds debuted a new look at its scaly new critters last week, but fans are so memorized by an NPC named Gemma the Smithy that they’ve added a “Dating Sim” tag to its official Steam page.

The Monster Hunter release wheel is starting to turn again as Capcom prepares for the launch of Monster Hunter Wilds, confirmed to be here in 2025. Let's hope that's by this time next year and not closer to a holiday release. Other than dipping back into Monster Hunter World, there are other ways to keep your love of the series ticking over in the meantime. Especially now that its set of desktop figures is finally easy to find and buy in the US.
Despite the Amazon listing reading that the set includes six items, there only appear to be five. Potentially a mistranslation as this set has previously been a Japanese exclusive, or maybe one of the items is duplicated or not pictured. As for what we know will definitely be included with the set, there are three vials that have been designed to look like they contain a potion, an energy drink, and demondrug, the fourth figure is a bomb barrel, and last but not least is a Monster Hunter staple - a well-done steak.
The Capcom licensed collection of figures has been slapped with a May 29, 2024, release date which might explain why at the time of typing this, the quartet of consumables (plus the bomb barrel) is unavailable. It might also be because the set is in such high demand that Amazon is adding the stock gradually, a tactic it uses to prevent scalpers from buying up in-demand stock and to stop the page, or the site as a whole, from running into any issues. The link to the store page is in the box below, and if the set is currently unavailable, keep checking back as it will likely be restocked.
Capcom's collection of desktop figures is based on items you'll find throughout the Monster Hunter series. A potion, an energy drink, a vial of demondrug, a bomb barrel, and best of all, a miniature recreation of some of the series' well-done steak.
The set of desktop figures is the latest in a series of things Capcom is doing to keep Monster Hunter fans' interest piqued between now and the release of Monster Hunter Wilds. It added a lot of Monster Hunter plushes to Amazon to kick off 2024, but it didn't make them all available in one go. The plushes have been released in batches, forcing collectors to build up their haul gradually, much like you might do in the games themselves.
If desktop figures and plushes still aren't enough to tide you over until Wilds hits in 2025, a remaster of Monster Hunter Stories, formerly a Nintendo 3DS console exclusive, is coming to Nintendo Switch and PS4 on June 14. Its sequel, Wings of Ruin will arrive on PS4 on the same day, and a physical collection that bundles both games in the spinoff series together is coming to Switch too, likely on June 14 along with everything else.

While the sting of E3’s death can still be felt, June remains a massive month for video game reveals, announcements, and world premieres. Things have already begun but the next big swing of the season comes from Summer Game Fest. Unlike the long-running, exclusive-focused streams from platform holders, Summer Game Fest features announcements from a wide range of developers and publishers of varying sizes. The list of attending companies has already been revealed and so we’ve used it as the basis for some predictions. What can you expect to see at Summer Game Fest 2024? Read on for our best educated guesses.
Monster Hunter Wilds was given its first proper gameplay trailer during the latest State of Play, and as ever, we're finding it very, very difficult to doubt Capcom. While it isn't raw footage, all the hallmarks of a proper Monster Hunter title are there, and we get to see some new beasts to boot.
Following its gameplay reveal during the latest State of Play, Capcom has dropped some additional details on Monster Hunter Wilds. In brief, this definitely sounds like an evolution of Monster Hunter World, as the developer's placing an even heavier emphasis on creating a «living world».
It’s always interesting to look at the most viewed trailers after a State of Play has aired, just to get a better idea of which titles resonated with fans. While this is far from a scientific experiment – especially when you consider we’re only taking into account views from the PlayStation channel roughly 12 hours after the event aired – it does help to illustrate which PS5 games proved a hit with fans.
Capcom revealed a new trailer for the upcoming on Thursday. Releasing on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S in 2025, the action RPG takes the player to a hostile, untamed wilderness teaming with dangerous monsters.
FFVII Ever Crisis is teaming up with Monster Hunter in a claws-out collab that starts May 30, 2024, at 7 PM PDT! Imagine Cloud facing off against the mighty Rathalos, king of the skies. Or picture Tifa rocking a new spiky-gauntleted look. The trailer hints at these battles and more, with Zack, Aerith, and even Cait Sith getting Monster Hunter makeovers.
Capcom's upcoming entry in the lizard pants-making sim, Monster Hunter Wilds, got a new trailer at last night's State Of Play. It showed off more of how its lovely desert environments morph to fit the weather and how its inhabitants largely don't get on. We also got a look at some cursed lions, an armoured frog with an unsettling tongue and a rideable Chocobo-esque mount that lets you ping arrows on the fly. Let me break it down for you readers, as someone who is increasingly excited at the prospect of more colourful pants.
My PC has a big white case, and sometimes, I sit and think: “big white box good!” But other times, I glance over to my PS5 and think: “other big white box also good!” Then I start getting fanciful and imagine a lovely future where they can both combine into one. Keeping track of two big white boxes is hard! Luckily, I only have to write about one of those big white boxes for RPS the vast majority of the time. Today is one of the rare occasions I do have to cover both, so here’s everything announced at yesterday’s Playstation State Of Play that you, the discerning big white box owner, might find relevant:
If you can’t wait for Monster Hunter Wilds, launching in 2025, then Capcom has provided somewhat of an incentive to playMonster Hunter World and its expansion,Iceborne. PS5 players who have save data for either release (or both) can unlock some bonus items for their Palico in Wilds.
Capcom has already inundated fans with a new gameplay trailer for Monster Hunter Wilds and tons of information following the latest State of Play. However, there’s more to come, as producer Ryozo Tsujimoto announced another new trailer premiering at Summer Game Fest on June 7th.
While offering a new gameplay trailer for Monster Hunter Wilds is nice, Capcom also promised more information on the upcoming action RPG before its release in 2025. Fortunately, it’s obliged in a new PlayStation Blog post, discussing the new Windward Plains locale and ecosystem changes. What about the new large monsters, though?
