The showcases for Monster Hunter Wilds at Gamescom 2024 featured several notable reveals, but one of the most practical additions to the game is coming in the form of UI instead of combat. The switch to a more open-world approach has led to adjustments to core mechanics that help the transition from the hub-oriented system of past Monster Hunter entries, from the ability to cook on the go to the introduction of mounted combat. Alongside large areas that evoke the size of World's offerings, these are set to make Monster Hunter Wilds the grandest of the entire series in a way that makes an overhaul of the in-game map essential.
