Monster Hunter Wilds, along with a sizable list of other big titles, is undoubtedly one of 2025's most anticipated video games thanks to what it is bringing to the longstanding Monster Hunter series. While it is breaking plenty of Monster Hunter traditions, many of these are in good taste and may be more than enough to open up the franchise to an even larger demographic than Monster Hunter: World was capable of doing. Whether it's the game's presumed narrative-driven direction, the voiced protagonist, or the unique gameplay mechanics designed to make it more accessible, Monster Hunter Wilds already has a lot going for it.
