Monster Hunter Wilds monsters will have more health than their World counterparts, but this decision makes a lot of sense considering new mechanics.

When speaking about the Hope series armor and weapons, Tokuda told us: “Incidentally, weapon designs in Monster Hunter: World generally retained a certain form, but they featured a customized appearance based on which monster materials were used. However, in Wilds, each weapon has its own unique design.”

Monster Hunter Wilds was announced with a reveal trailer shown at The Game Awards in 2023. With plenty of sweeping shots of what we now know as the Windward Plains and a stampede of Doshaguma, our first introduction to Monster Hunter Wilds was pretty much just a teaser.
