Now that Dragon's Dogma 2 has made its debut, we can hope that Capcom will soon reveal more about its next productions, including the mysterious Pragmata or the recently announced Monster Hunter Wilds. While waiting for a statement from the Japanese company, a well-known insider shares some information on the project.
Monster Hunter Wilds would be Capcom's “biggest game by far”
On its own Discord server, based on an image shared by a user of Reddit, Dusk Golem, to whom we mainly owe leaks relating to the Resident Evil license, indeed declares having heard a lot of things from various sources. Monster Hunter Wilds would thus be “by far the biggest game they have ever attempted to make”.

I don't feel like sharing anything major yet (don't worry, I KNOW major things), but it looks like Capcom is going all out on this game, which is by far the biggest game they've ever released. 'they ever tried to do.
.
The insider adds that Wilds would have 6 years of development behind it, since work would have started just after the release of World. The director of World would have had total freedom and would have integrated ideas into the game that could not be integrated into the 2019 opus. The “great monster Godzilla” would also be there, certainly referring to the Zorah Magdaros from World.
6 years, yes They have been working on it since the beginning of 2019, in one way or another. The global director was given complete freedom, virtually without questions asked. A lot of ideas discarded in World are here, they brought back the big monster Godzilla too.
Given his latest reveal regarding Resident Evil 9, there's clearly no reason to be surprised when Dusk Golem claims that the world of Monster Hunter Wilds will be fully open.
Yes, it's a completely open world. It was their idea from day one apparently, the whole game revolves around it, from the story to the end of the game.
He adds that although his main source is not an expert on the license, it has still been confirmed to him that the Capcom teams are experimenting much more with Wilds than they were able to do with World or Rise.

My main source is not an expert in MH, but even she could see that this experience was much more advanced than that of World of Rise. It may be a risk, but the reactions have been great so far.
Finally, he confides that Monster Hunter Wilds would be scheduled for the first quarter of 2025 and that Capcom would not have encountered any development problems. The developer was satisfied with a simple “2025”.
Release window is Q1 2025, no problem in development so far They are banking on this game going to last the entire fiscal year, I don't think even GTA 6 could make them delay.
When will Monster Hunter Wilds be revealed?
After a few weeks of rumors, Monster Hunter Wilds finally showed itself during the Games Awards 2023 ceremony. The announcement trailer allowed us to discover a hunter roaming a desert area populated by dozens of creatures, but also the threat of a Sandstorm.
The game is still very mysterious today, but fortunately, it will be revealed more in a few months. Capcom has indeed specified that Monster Hunter Wilds will be talked about starting this summer.
If you've never tried monster hunting and are a subscriber to Xbox Game Pass or PC Game Pass, then don't hesitate to try Monster Hunter Rise, a title originally released exclusively on Nintendo Switch. This episode also introduced mounts to ride, an element which will be included in Wilds.
