Monster Hunter Wildsfans are beginning to feel sorry for the poor old Chatacabra, as it’s being used as a punching bag in all the new promotional videos showing off the game’s revamped weapons.
Capcomis hyping up the Monster Hunter crowd with new weapon videos for Wilds every few days. Take the video just below, for example, released just yesterday, which shows off therevamped Switch Axe in Monster Hunter Wilds, complete with several brand new chain attacks, and even a weapon skin that teases a brand new monster for the new game.
To date, there have been 12 weapon reveals for Monster Hunter Wilds via Capcom’s social channels, including the bow, heavy bowgun, and the great sword. The thing is, all the weapon videos have used the Chatacabra, a new creature for Monster Hunter Wilds, to demonstrate the destructive prowess of the weapons, and series fans are starting to feel slightly sorry for the poor beastie.
As ever, this is coming about through some downright brilliant fan art from Twitter users. You can see a few fantastic examples just below, all of which paint the Chupacabra as a victim of Capcom’s weapons rollout. This is all before it gets slaughtered on repeat in the actual game itself, mind you, so it’s not like things are getting better.
