As the next upcoming entry in Capcoms popular action RPG franchise, Monster Hunter Wilds is set to introduce a new approach to its formula through what many fans are speculating to be a more open-world game design. The reveal trailer for Monster Hunter Wilds featured a changing biome in the landscape ahead of the player alongside a massive herd of creatures larger than what has been featured in the series yet. While these elements alone havent confirmed a complete departure from the quest-based structure of Monster Hunter, the shift to an open-world style has important implications regarding a prevalent side mechanic.
