Monster Hunter Wilds fans are very intrigued about one little creature in the game's new trailer.
Capcom unveiled Monster Hunter Wilds yesterday at The Game Awards 2023, effectively billing it as a major Monster Hunter World follow-up. You can catch the announcement trailer for the new game below, which features rolling dust storms, huge numbers of creatures all gathered together, and one particular Pangolin that appears to be conducting lightning.

Pangolins have always existed at the lower end of the food chain in Monster Hunter games. They exist to be stomped by bigger monsters, and effortlessly slain and harvested by players whenever they need a particular upgrade material. They've certainly never conducted lightning, or anything similar, which is why the Pangolin in the clip above is so intriguing.
The 'Lightning Rod Pangolin' is going down a treat with Monster Hunter fans. People are really made up for the little feller, with one Twitter user dubbing it "PANGOLIGHTNING," and other users adding things like "I love them already." We know next to nothing about Lightning Rod Pangolin right now, but it's already got plenty of fans.

During The Game Awards, Capcom released a trailer for the newest generational game in a well-known RPG franchise.
The Game Awards 2023 wrapped earlier today, marking an epic conclusion to this year's video game season and celebrating the best games released in the past year. The lengthy ceremony was once again hosted by Geoff Keighley, live from Los Angeles, with Baldur's Gate 3 taking home the coveted Game of the Year award. As usual, there were a few exciting new announcements, and while some expectations were crushed, there's still a bunch to look forward to. Standout reveals this year include a collaboration between Hideo Kojima and filmmaker Jordan Peele, a free DLC for God of War Ragnarök, yet another Skull and Bones release date, and more surprises.
After teasing it earlier this year, Capcom finally announced the next mainline Monster Hunter title – Monster Hunter Wilds.

Capcom has been on a hell of a streak in recent years, but one of their biggest franchises has been taking a bit of a backseat. We got Monster Hunter Rise on the Switch in 2021, but we haven’t got a real boundary-pushing entry in the series since Monster Hunter World in 2018. Well, tonight at The Game Awards we got our first peek at the next generation in the franchise, Monster Hunter Wilds.

Well, the good news is a new Monster Hunter's on the way — hooray! The bad news is we'll have to wait until 2025 play it — boo. Still, we do at least get an atmospheric teaser trailer to scrutinise until Capcom is ready to reveal more.
