Monster Hunter Wildsart director Kaname Fujio says thatCapcomis using the best parts of Monster Hunter Worlds to ensure that new fans really feel like they’ve found a new home in the series.
Speaking during the PC Gaming Show Most Wanted, Fujio said “it’s true, [Monster Hunter] World has reached quite a lot of people. Seeing people become fans of the game means a lot to us, because through Monster Hunter, we’re able to express the game design and creativity that we value so much. And for people around the world to really understand it has really given us a lot of confidence.”
“As for Wilds,” he continues, “within that, we’re really expanding on the parts that were appreciated in Worlds and taking it even further into that world. We wanted to make sure that those who become interested in Worlds can now truly become fans of the franchise.”
I spent 5 hours with a new build of Monster Hunter Wilds and it solved basically every problem I had after playing the beta – now this really feels like Monster Hunter World 2.
