Capcom's Monster Hunter Wilds, the next mainline installment in the hugely popular Monster Hunter series, has officially been announced with an expected 2025 launch. Not much has been disclosed about Monster Hunter Wilds thus far, apart from what was shown in the official reveal trailer. This has left many fans speculating on what features the game may bring to the franchise, including a potential open world. Aside from that, there is one feature that has been missing from the majority of the Monster Hunter series — one that fans have requested be regularly added for some time: NPCs with names.
