Capcom's most anticipated game is undoubtedly Monster Hunter Wilds, a game that the publisher has been teasing for nearly a year. The time to get your band together to hunt some big monsters is rapidly approaching. During Tuesday's PlayStation State of Play presentation, Capcom issued an official release date.

The latest Monster Hunter Wilds trailer reveals another harrowing new monster. This one is hiding in a new biome known as the Scarlet Forest. It's an area that can deceive players with its calming beauty, but can turn menacing in the blink of an eye. Capcom is continuing to introduce new monster types with one of its latest reveals from this trailer being a Leviathan Apex. As noted during our recent previews at events like Summer Game Fest, Apex monsters are not creatures to mess with, as they can wreck anything that gets in their way. Players will need to prepare themselves for these big hunts using some of Wilds' newest features, including on-the-go camps and the ability to summon NPC hunters.

Monster Hunter Wilds will come to PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S on February 28, 2025. For those interested in learning more about Capcom's latest, be sure to check out our most recent hands-on preview from Gamescom.
