How Much Content Will Monster Hunter Wilds Have at Launch? | Low, High & Master Rank Explained

[@Vagabond_01]

A reminder to be careful with all the leaks! A few people are spoiling things in the comment section for others! It's ok to search yourself if you wanna know but be considerate of others who want to experience the game story at launch!

[@AnimationWarrior301]

I thank you for bringing awareness on this

[@rickn6923]

Yeah it’s true. Whole monster list and audio files are out there. If you don’t care the info is out there

[@AscendantStoic]

Surprised you didn't bring up the fact that each of the 14 weapons feel like a different action game embedded into MH, on average it would take anywhere from 50-200 hours to fully master a weapon's entire moveset and collect decorations for its specific skills, and because MHW was my first MH game that's how I eneded up with +2000 hours in game+DLC because I played all weapons 😅

[@guardiantko3220]

Yup, no kidding, I mixed mashed my weapon usage when iceborne was released and just kept at it cause how much extra life each weapon gave the game. I'm only a fiver, got 2k hours in world/iceborne, but its so much fun just going in, picking what weapon i wanna go with that meshes with the sos I'm jumping into, and going ham

[@crumpet-kun]

This. If you ever start getting bored of a monster hunter game, all you need to do is pick up another weapon. Entirely different experience every time. It's like 14 games mashed into one because you will have to go through the entire learning process every time, which is such a wonderful accidental feature

Welcome to the game. Hope you have a blast playing Monster Hunter. I am not a veteran my self, and it took some time to understand the game at first, but my BIGGEST tip I can give someone is: take your time with it. No need to rush, no need to get those thousands of hours. What ever and when ever the game give you the enjoyment, play it as you want. Cheers!

@AnghelVick totally agree 💯 with this advice just enjoy it and find a weapon that suits you don't be afraid to try them all out at your own pace

[@terragaming4414]

Have I been playing Monster Hunter for nearly twenty years? Yes! Yes have. Did I still enjoy listening to this video telling me everything I can recite in my sleep? Also yes.

[@NagaTales]

Also a reminder to veteran hunters to keep your expectations for challenge *very low* for the initial release slate. None of the monsters are going to slap particularly hard and they are going to feel easy to kill, even with weak gear and sets, because your skill at the game's fundamentals is in Master Rank tier, even with the new additions to systems and weapons. This happens every time there's a new release. The game isn't "getting easier", you're just way better at the game! Take this as a chance to fool around and learn the new fancy stuff!

[@lukerodrigues6955]

Uh... kinda true, kinda not. I can solo Fatalis in World, but MH3 Barioth and Diablos can still triple-cart me if I'm not being really careful. The newer games are definitely easier in general, with a few difficult fights concentrated in the post game.

[@shadowdragon1396]

@@rolf1819a half truth at most. Monster hunter games are getting easier, particularly in the power of the hunters themselves. Hunt a silver rath in rise and then hunt one in freedom unite, both in G rank. The disparity in hunter capability is staggering. I'm not necessarily saying its a bad thing, but to say the games aren't getting easier is simply false.

Exactly! That's why I'm going to try learn new weapons instead of going for my mains.

[@yarro7428]

Be extremely careful with MHWilds on the internet. When they started datamining the beta, they found a list of monster IDs, and status effects specific to very few monsters. Then, somebody was like, "Hey, we haven't checked the audio section yet. I wonder what's in there?" They found the entire story. From confirmation of a few left-field monsters, to the name of the final boss. Seriously, avoid the leaks at all costs.

Thanks for the video, I'm writing through a translator. In the basic version on PS4, I played for 800 hours, then switched to PC and there I still play World and Rise with add-ons. The Monster hunter game has always been from the entertain yourself series. And making new and new weapons, mastering new techniques, time flies by imperceptibly. I completely agree with you.

[@Twerkulese]

I'm excited now that i have a larger group of friends to go through this game than both World/Rise. With base world when all my friends were burnt out, I found fun working on the Feyline tribes. I hope we get meaningful side content like this with these expanded environments.

[@ltlsWhatltIs]

Same exact position for me. I need to friend some mh vets for when wilds releases. Are you on ps5? Guess its irrelevant since cross platform.

[@L-Man-Gaming]

This is going to be Capcom’s best selling game, I can only hope we get regular updates. Once a month is probably too much to ask, but a guy can dream.

[@xYarbx]

Better to get quality updates than trying to hit dead lines.

[@Minazuki.Infinity]

Capcom always does quarterly updates for Monster Hunter base game. Then after 4 Title Updates, they release the G-Rank/Master Rank expansion. Then support that expansion for a year with 4-5 Title Update before they start working on the next generation mainline game (e.g. MH7, since World is 5 and Wilds is 6).

[@MouseKeyboardPlayer]

Maybe, but beating World isn't going to be easy, which sits at over 25 million, not including Iceborne. So yes I think Wilds will have very good sales, but 25 mil+? We'll see about that.

[@kokorochacarero8003]

Let's keep it simple and honest. You pay full price a single time, you get a static game, with a few updates on top of it some time down the line. Then an eventual DLC If you want monthly updates, you better be ready for a subscription fee, a season pass or god forbid an ingame store Be careful what you wish for I do not wish for a Monster Hunter live service travesty

[@xYarbx]

@@MouseKeyboardPlayer I mean Elden Ring had 25 milj sales and for what I've seen there has been huge interest in wilds from that community. Especially because there are not that many new games in souls like only thing I can think of is Lies of P but that's only around 30 hours of content. So assuming 30% cross section and 100% world player return rate you are already looking at 33 milj copies sold. Not to mention the reach to wider gaming community.

[@BasketCase-rr7tx]

I actually feel like it might be easier and faster to grind for weapon upgrades in this game, not only just because of the way the game seems to work as an open world title but also because we are being encouraged to main 2 weapons instead of just one.

[@VadeInSpiritu]

I hope not. I like grinding for gear, learning the fights, and feeling rewarded for my effort with better gear

[@wincollum]

The grind has already been massively sped up in recent games. I'm hoping having two weapons is an opportunity to bring back an optional grind for players who want to min max both weapons, rather than an excuse to make it even easier to craft gear

[@MysteriousStranger50]

How does the game being more grindy change the fact you need to learn a monster or how you are rewarded for gear? It’s just artificial padding. If I’ve hunted 35 zinogres for one drop making me hunt 20 more isn’t going to make a difference in proving anything, it only serves to annoy and gatekeep items from you. Absolute gatcha brained take

[@VadeInSpiritu]

@ there’s a balance to it. 50 hunts to get one item is excessive. In World though, I often could craft an entire armor set after only hunting the monster 2-3 times. That’s not really enough to feel you learned the monster well. If you’re gonna wear it as armor, you should be familiar with it and show mastery over it. I remember fighting Lagiacrus to get his armor and you needed I think 2 plates. It took many attempts and when I was done I no longer feared him in the water. Same with Shogun Ceanataur in MHF2. I felt like I mastered Shogun when I’d finally got his set and it was work, but not crazy repetitive and I felt accomplished. The longest it ever took me to get a gem or something in World was maybe 5-6 hunts, and then most of the time you can meld them or get them some other way not requiring hunting. That’s a bit too easy. Separate issue, but I wish they’d bring back more gathering. I never one had to go on a gathering expedition to go mine for ores in 5th gen, always just had what I needed already.

[@viporiox555]

To be fair, for 100+ GB, i am expecting a wee bit of extra content compared to other games

[@shimimikami7930]

Ruhrikan you make fantastic videos, thank you so much for all your great contributions, really.

[@estebanmoraga3126]

Now that Monster Hunter has proven itself as a franchise with the insane success of World, I wouldn't be surprised if MH:Wilds ends up having the biggest roster for a base MH game ever as I can only imagine how much resources Capcom has poured into the development of this game. Plus, to me, it seems like one of the main tenets for this entry into the franchise is simply to do "more" as in: Much larger areas, that are now seamless. Now you can carry two weapons instead of one. Now the ecology is even more complex and detailed. Now the climate plays a big factor and is not only cosmetic, etc. So, I wouldn't be surprised if we also get MORE monsters than ever before for a base game, keeping in line with that general principle.

[@GoogleAccount-jn5qb]

Like if Generations but in new-gen monster hunter? I wish but I highly doubt it, we'll probably just get something close to world numbers.

[@djmack6474]

Maybe will get 50 large monsters in base wilds it's highly unlikely it will reach Generations insane base roster of 71 large monsters gotta keep your expectations realistic world:31 Rise:41 Wilds at 50 feels a good guess from previous new gen games

This may sound crazy to some, but I generally feel there can be such a thing as too many monsters in a Monster Hunter game.

[@djmack6474]

@@WaddleDee45 blasphemy lol I kid everyone has there own thing as to many monsters can feel like monsters are samey but I really want a game to reach that big 100 large just one time then we can cut back and do unique but lower list

[@VadeInSpiritu]

I hope so. I also kinda expect this. I suspect we’ll see a slow drip of content for like 2 years boosting up the roster before Wilds expansion. I hope they just bring back lots of existing monsters in added content to make it easier relative to making lots of new monster and pump up the numbers, then lots of new monsters in the main game and expansion.

[@guardiantko3220]

WHEN wilds gets its dlc expansion like iceborne was to world, its going to be INSANE. I cant wait just for the game itself, that beta, while my cpu was mad with me. Was amazing. Loved the gameplay, feels so natural to play. And if we just get MORE GAME, im all for it

Leave it to Monster Hunter to set the bar so high that 100 hours at a minimum is a small amount of content. I love this series.

[@randomguy2981]

As an addition to the wait time on Master Rank, just know with World to Iceborne it took about 1 year and 8 months apart, so we’ll probably be waiting for the expansion for a good while

[@dissidia8876fights]

The thing I like the most about monster hunter. Its the same baseline game where each game (heck even each expansion) they experiment with movesets and mechanics. A great example of this is the mount mechanic, added in iceborne as an auto transport, improved and changed in rise and now even more improved and changed in wilds.

[@heyimurchin6575]

When the game drops, my plans are: make every single piece of armor from LR to HR. We get 2 variations 1 for male and female model so that means double the farm lol. Craft all weapons for all 14 weapons. Capture every single endemic life. Crown hunting. And whatever the end game is lol

[@darkdude9248]

i remember the hype of waiting for MH4U to release to the west. so glad they started bringing the base game to the rest of the world earlier

[@ChubbyJimRaisinBran]

Will love whatever Capcom gives us. World was incredible and the only thing I felt it was missing was archtempered Ruiner Nergigante, Shara Ishvalda and maybe an Archtempered Safi'jiva since we did get an AT Xeno. That fight would have been ridiculous though

[@statesminds]

I played Monster Hunter World like 1300 hrs lol. Rise only did like 150 then another 250 or so with sunbreak. I wish i could move my save from switch and didnt wanna start over. With MH im worried how they always suck my time away from every other game lmao i love it but dang my free time

[@ManlyPicnics]

I'm hoping for a decent investment for Wilds. World+Iceborne took me a total of 800 hours to 100%, in regards to getting all Achievements/Guild Card Awards, including farming crowns. Rise/Sunbreak took me about 1000 for the same thing. Somewhere around the 800-1000 mark is sufficient for me. I have quite a few friends playing this time around, so I'll have some extra hours helping and playing with them potentially.

Actually Surprisingly enough we might get a good chunk of monsters because all of the monsters they have really shown off in the trailers are all brand new monsters. and we have glimpses of returners like Rathalos, and Congalala too. So the real question is how many brand new monsters are their going to be (It's Clearly a lot) and how many returners are going to be in the base game of wilds.

World did Low Rank, High Rank and then held us over with Collaborations, Seasonal Events and Arch Tempered Elder Dragons until Master Rank released. Master Rank did the same thing but had the Guiding Lands as well and built up to Safi, Alatreon and Fatalis Monster Hunter Rise was a little different at release but I think that was due to covid maybe? I don't know. Master usually has a mode that is meant to hold players over long term for the main grind.

[@ericjoestar1065]

Before watching the video, here are my expectations. For info, i played everything upwards 3U. Locales: 5 (+ Arena and maybe 1 or 2 special boss arenas). Monsters: 40-50 (5th Gen was less, but it was also a soft reboot, so i expect more, since Wilds also had the longest dev time of all MH games). Endgame hopefully will have more than World (basegame) had. I consider World's endgame to be pretty solid and surely the games should evolve with every generation.

[@CaecoAequitas1]

its also a new engine as well for MH games so dont get your hype engine up too high for more content than world, which is totally fine, even if its as much as world, that was plenty for a mainline game

[@ericjoestar1065]

@@CaecoAequitas1 First, it's not a new engine, Rise already used it and second, content can be converted from one engine to another.

​​@@CaecoAequitas1not a new Engine, Rise/Sunbreak also used the RE-Engine Edit: and Sunbreak with 78 large Monsters has currently the second largest roster in the series after Generations Ultimate. And since Wilds uses the same Engine they could port all the Monsters that are in Rise into Wilds.

I just started hunting with MHRise on the switch this year and I'm just around HR7 but I can't believe how much I was missing by no playing MH before! I wish I knew this like a decade ago. I'd have played MH a lot on my PS Vita!! I'm glad I discovered this amazing world tho. I've been having a blast playing in co-op with my wife! I also tried the MHWilds beta on my PS5 and holy cow it was FANTASTIC!! I just can't imagine how amazing the final product is gonna be. Imagine the expansion running on the PS5 Pro!! 🤩 In terms of content just the base game of Rise has had me entertained for months and I feel like I'm barely scratching the surface of it. I still have all Sunbreak so it's a TON of top tier content. If you ask me, just the beta of wilds had way too much content for that time window. Considering that Wilds is gonna be a big monster hunter like World (unlike Rise that is more of a portable version), the content of the base game is gonna be HUGE. At least for regular people. I know there are a lot of extreme players that are gonna rush the game and probably end up running out of content in a couple of months, but every game on existence has that kind of players with no life. As I said, for normal people and by today's standards, the game is gonna have an outstanding amount of content IMHO. (BTW sorry for my English)

[@Manawolf25]

If they do bring out a special state (something like frenzied, hyper, tempered or afflicted monsters) out for the monsters, I hope that it's more than what tempered did in world. I personally found tempered monsters to be very disappointing. If they're gonna bring out a special state, I do want them to do some twist to the normal flow of the hunt. I'd still say the frenzied monsters are my favorite since they had a good story implementation and a fun gameplay interaction. Afflicted monsters were close, but the gameplay interaction wasn't quite as good imo. I don't really expect to see this in a base game (even if we see this more than naught since they started giving special states to monsters), but if they do bring a special state in wilds, I hope it's interesting gameplay wise. As for the base roster, we're likely to see at least the amount we had with world and rise, if not a bit more. I would like to see some neopterons and snake wyverns in this entry, a new carapaceon would be really cool too. Having a diverse monster roster is important to me since I like to hunt when I'm in the mood for something. We're already with a pretty good roster for now, but some of these more underrepresented types of monsters would be amazing to see given some love.

Want to make your gameplay last longer? Every time you fight a new monster, just simply craft every single piece of gear you can from it. Full armor, any of the weapons you want, bam! You can also bide time with fishing. Good for wet fish fins and sushi fish scale. Those are always nice to have.

[@CidPsy]

100 hours for casual play? Disagree there Ruri, if you focus solely on the story side of things the game is around 30 to 40 -50 ish hours long. But this is the type of person who is like "once and done" player, the type who is there for the most baseline experience. Now those who strife to put that checkmark on all quests and see most if not all aspects the base game (not a trophy/achievement hunter) offers, goes from 75 to 150 hours. This is the type that unlocks stuff like all upgrades in the canteen, all mantles and so on. Then we got the hardest to the core bunch who at 300+ hours are still grinding and min - maxing sets or getting 100% achievements.

Of course in MH some things unlocks after you beat the story, but I'm strictly talking about those that on the girst playthrough, go for whats available to them before seeing the credits.

i cant lie, with MonHun, capcom has basically made the perfect formula for base game+expansion versus a live service game: we know what we can expect overall, it allows us to put a bit more trust in the devs for the money and time we spend on the game, and we fund their profit enough to warrant the expansion that builds off of that, without them putting in any battle pass bs, granted there are MTX's, but i overlook those as its all un-important stuff, and mostly there to tell the shareholders they have them (at a guess, besides, i have at least one friend that buys a bunch of emotes if for nothing else but to troll me) it allows them to use ideas that are scrapped for the base game and further implement them into the expansion if necessary, and in a way, works the same as Early Access does for steam; except we get a complete game with story combat and exploration of a complete world, and the expansion is basically the "1.0 release" that improves (usually) the entire game and elevates it.

[@kylequinn1963]

Honestly, I understand that this is how it's always been but I hope this time it isn't that way. I hope the low and high rank have a LOT of variety and tons of different monsters, even bring back a ton from World if need be. Why? I like content but also the big, open, living world NEEDS variety of species to interact with.

[@SoullessMadness]

The Wilds' beta brought me to MH... But, bought World and Rise on sale and I dont regret it. Man! I was missing out on a decent franchise.

[@drake_mccready]

I just hope they have a better optimized co-op system.

[@jockpackage1770]

Yeah, it's not that the game forces you to play for hundreds of hours. It's that there's so much you can do to alter your experience: With gear and weapon choices, grinding all those out or just having fun fighting the same things in different ways. This all prolongs the experience on your own terms, based on what kind of mischief your want to get into with the game. Maybe you start and only 1 weapon really clicks with you but later on you get curious about another weapon or 2. Remember, there are 14 weapons and plenty of them have multiple play styles to offer. So you check videos. Or, if you're lucky, you have a friend who's a veteran that knows you well who can point you in the right direction of new weapons and teach you how to use them. Little more hands on and having fun with a friend as you learn a new weapon's flow. I never had this on the student end of things, I just got lucky and found a weapon or 2 that really spoke to me. I had a blast on the teacher end, showing a friend the ropes with a few weapons in Rise and also Wilds' beta. Seeing new hunters grow up is truly magical. My best memory is being asked if I wanted to hunt MR crimson glow valstrax for the first time, just after getting home/still drunk from a party with family members. I chose to go in with a HH but made the mistake of not swapping horns so I had no healing songs and just really sharpness ones, while drunk, in my first hunt of a master rank version of a jet dragon. Needless to say, I carted twice but we still won, cause my student didn't cart once. I was so proud of him! We've seen 3 maps and an interview before we saw the third one suggested that we have 1 more. At least 1 more that will be shown in marketing before release. They said they had 2 left before we saw the last one. They may show all the maps in marketing or save one to be discovered in game. 4 maps is fine, they are twice the size as World's 5 maps so it's like having 8. I still think we'll get mid to high 40s in monsters on release. This is because of 3 factors; 1 they said they learned from World and Rise so they don't want to show us dam near every monster before release so keeping more of those close to their chest, 2 it's the same engine as Rise so a lot of the basic skeleton/animation work is already done so they can use those frames to make more monsters more quickly than if it was a new engine like World and Rise were, and 3 this is the longest dev cycle/biggest budget they've ever had. His phrasing isn't the best, a section of the team splinters off to do the free updates while the main talent is focused on early work/concepts for the next expansion or next game. Those start as soon as a game releases. The update skeleton crew rejoins them once their work is done and once the next release is in full swing of development. They also have 2 full teams for Monster Hunter's main games. Wilds is the World team, who've been working on this since Iceborne released. Then you have Rise's team who worked on that ever since Generations Ultimate was finished. That means the Rise/Generations team started work on their next game after Sunbreak. This leapfrog method lets them release games more often, while also letting each one have longer dev cycles for more ambitious games.

100 hours is NOT casual for World... most casual players stopped after beating Xeno'jiiva

[@ltlsWhatltIs]

[@AnimeIntrospective]

I think end content for base game will be something like a seige. Because 100 player lobbies? Why go that far? Sounds like they want the seige to be one of the main replay values for Multi-player or something

[@rolf1819]

You think they are going to do a siege involving 100 players on one map altogether? Mmo's struggle but you think this game can? Mate, you'll have half an fps if they tried that.

[@AnimeIntrospective]

@rolf1819 have you played monster hunter world? 16 player lobbies but only 4 can play at once. All they have to do is keep the stats for 100 players. It's not everyone on screen at once, just the other 3 you go into the seige with

I love Monster Hunter, man, I LOVE MONSTER HUNTEEER.

@@WaddleDee45 It’s technically still rotating since they never patched the game to allow access to both sieges simultaneously. Not to mention that event quests have been permanently removed because of expired licenses.

@rurikhan yes im fully aware of that however, based on the leaks, if its true, im still disappointed that there were very few elder dragons. ive been playing since freedom unite. its okay to not focus on elder dragons but its weird to have few of them. it makes me sad.

[@harrisonyoung3857]

Use your head a lil, every generation before world didn’t have dlc, but another version of the game, completely the same, except for the added g rank. Freedom unite is an expansion on freedom, except back then, instead of paying for a dlc to access master rank, you had to buy a whole new game, same as the one you already played for half of it, and costed more than a dlc would. Freedom unite IS the paywall. It’s much better now as you just buy the dlc by itself instead of the same game twice.

[@wincollum]

I would be careful with the expectation that we will get more monsters than World at launch. Wilds has much more complex interactions between monsters and the environment. Even towards the end of the beta I was seeing new interactions between monsters I had fought a dozen times, and I saw even more online that I didn't experience myself. That takes a lot of work, and unless they are copy pasting a lot of these interactions around, I wouldn't expect there to be very many more monsters than in past games.

[@ericjoestar1065]

Wilds had a longer dev time with more experience. This isn't your annual CoD, where you get the same game every year. The Monster Hunter team of Capcom is known to put a lot of new stuff in each new game.
