My theory is that there's one huge map and the biomes shift between hunts and in real-time while on expedition, so you could drop in the southern area and it'd be a desert, and then you run to the eastern side to hunt something, then run back to the south 15 minutes later and a snowstorm has rolled in and turned it into a tundra.

My immediate thought when seeing the logo, with the almost woven circles, was a Norse theme, especially with the logo being a very long snake, but the way it’s styled actually looks very typical Aztec design, which does also feature a mythological giant snake Side note, those definitely looked like Goss Harag, the way they moved and the red face, fighting herds of monsters would be so cool

[@vbun4662]

Gaijinhunter actually pointed out that while that first area does look like a desert what's actually happening at the end is all the dust from the storm is getting blown away to reveal the grass underneath. If you look closely you'll even notice the grace sticking up from beneath the sand the whole time at various points. The dust/sandstorm might be a central mechanic of this games elder flagship or something if it's being so prominently featured in this first reveal. Maybe it's a storm dragon that flies around changing the weather in a given biome or something.

[@skeletingking]

True. The website video also seems to show wild weather changes, maybe seasons are back from Dos?

[@incineakechi5197]

The vibe I got from this is the the hunter is constantly in danger from the monsters and weather. I love this idea that there is stuff you just have to run from because it's too dangerous. Imagine the strategy or preparation needed if to hunt one creature you had to stalk a pack and then lure one away because fighting them all at the same time is simply too dangerous

[@Atoll-ok1zm]

That could be interesting. World made me a afraid to approach monster sometimes, rise not so much. Having to avoid particularly dangerous monsters or seperate out packs would be a very fun mechanic, maybe an expanded version of previous tracking systems?

Its worth pointing out that there is a scoutfly cage on the Hunters belt AS WELL AS A slinger on his left arm! I don't know if that is definitely a feature in wilds or if it's just style but I loved the slinger as a feature (not including thhe clutch claw) and I would love to see it return

Slinger was definitely useful. The clutch claw... yeah no.

[@jeffknox6014]

I would love to see the clutch claw return, but only if it has some serious nerfs in how frequently it can be used and nerf the opportunity of its usefulness.

Others have brought up how the more dynamic weather/environment can make fights with elder dragons and other more influential monsters a more threatening experience. A Lunastra throwing out heatwaves in her home turf is one thing, but in a desert where she can superheat the sand or close to a water source that results in scalding steam? That'd make for some intense fights and gives the player more thought on where and when to confront their target.

[@thefanciesttortoise557]

I thick it would be really cool if elemental attacks Interact with environment. For example in wet area's thunder attacks would have increased range. Or Ice could freeze water/mug stopping you from getting slowed. So get the monster in the right environment would be just as important and having the right items

[@0wonder]

What would the element of dragon act on an environment like would it tear up the ground would it explode in descriptions it’s said the the energy tears into wounds causing pain

[@Atoll-ok1zm]

It could really lend elders a greater sense of power as well. These are walking natural disasters so they say. And while they feel strong sure, they don't feel THAT strong. So imagine if every elder had a version of chameleos' fog or amatsu's storms. Now all of them influence the actual weather rather than just having it as a gimmick mechanic you may or may not really interact with. Except kirin, kirin can skip a few more games. Or every future game. It could create interesting loadout opportunities to specialize hunting in certain conditions. Sandstorm masks, raincoats, weighted slim armor to help you resist strong winds, a rebreather to protect against airbourne toxins or a special suit for hazardous liquids. More than just slotting a gem to deal with something.

I just love the small things in this trailer. Like the concept of that little herd animal species. The males are the "lightning rods" protecting the herd during storms and the others gather around them. Also other species of animals use them as cover too like the birds or I assume those bearlike monsters. I am already curious what monster is causing the storms, because it seems they will be the main focus of this region. The entire wildlife has some sort of adaptation to these storms. Also I thought those small raptor-like groups are baby Kulu Ya Kus sticking together with their siblings until they are big enough to go on alone.

Forest can be calm and have rainstorms, then become flodded forest.. on and so forth.

What i noticed is that bear like monsters were throwing around the pangolin like creatures! I really hope they severely ramped up monster and wildlife interactions with each other! That was one of the things that really bothered me in world and iceborne was that the monsters would literally brush up against each other and glitch out the game or clip through walls. I would love to see monsters trying to intimidate one another, use camouflage to hide from predators, flee the area when a larger more dangerous beast comes into the area, go on expeditions hearing monster calls/roars in the distance and destructive environments in the backyard, just to add to the immersion and realism in this awesome game! And I would love for the turf wars to be similar to Kaiju battles and mixture of realism with varying turf war animations depending on health etc!

[@daefaron]

Notice on the bear things. Most have tails in the intro, but when the do a close up riding around two, one has a tail, and one doesn't have a tail.

[@wolffang-vz2ty]

maybe the player is a wandering hunter that traverses between settlements as like a regional protector due to the area being more remote or something. thats why the player keeps extra gear with them, maybe you have to go to a town/village to change your loadout freely and while out in the wilds you only have the stuff you packed on your mount

The Hype is real

[@Atoll-ok1zm]

You can see a guild crest on a pin on the hunter's back. The chance they're completely uninvolved with the guild is very slim. Though there is a chance they're a ranger of some sort. I think its fair to say they're not a typical hunter, or at least they follow a dramatically different doctrine. Someone who doesn't take quests directly from handlers, but instead roams deep into uninhabited territory with a fair amount of independence. Well beyond where typical hunters could be deployed. Normal hunters are well supported by smiths, engineers, handlers, scouts, logistics, etc. They're just a part of a larger machine. But these potential rangers could opperate with minimal support well beyond the usual reaches of the guild. Less powerful maybe but far more self sufficient. Their purpose is impossible to guess with just this to go on though and the location shown is much the same. This could be somewhere in the new world for all we know, or it could just be a part of the great desert.

The hunters is likely in the base armor and weapons, thus why they dont look over the top. Seriously Cotton you stretched WAY to hard on a lot of this.

[@Odd1006]

to be fair, i thought the trees and grass grew too lol

[@OSG_Graced]

Actually I’m pretty sure it’s more of a season change thing. I don’t think you can grow leaves and running water with dust…

[@Avellar3000]

​@@OSG_Graced grass is under the dust and the tree does not grow leaves, there are there before the dust is blown off. Also the water is there as well just hard to see under to storm and dust. SMH

[@Hecate42217]

i noticed at the start of the gliding scene that the player came from one of the giant pillars so i think their more like the balloons in apex where the mounted player would climb up the spire to then immediately glide off it

[@Cpt-kaiju]

the two monsters i wanted to have were gammoth and ahtal ka and i mean i'm not sure about gammoth but i'm a little more confident in ahtal being here and with how open the map is i feel we can expect larger monsters showing up or reappearing im hopping that we get a huge open world map with sections being different biomes and not just having a savannah type large map

[@Hollow_Krouw]

It feels like it a time in the past, almost like this is where the hunting of the monster first started, it's absolutely beautiful

[@kainslegacy7]

Why does everyone keep saying the mount flys? it is clearly a glide.

[@damedanedameyodamenanoyo2594]

Something I would like to point out during the trailer, when the title card appears and then "WILDS" and the new logo fades into view, it almost looks as if it is reflected on the surface of water and there is a sort of ripple effect there as well. Possibly a water-themed flagship? Also the logo does have a sort of ouroboros motif, so perhaps a world-serptent-esque final boss? Also that zone transition clip looks reminiscent of the Coral Highlands.

[@jaylenharris343]

Man, I was really hoping the palamutes would've stayed in the franchises going forward. Heck we didn't even see our palicoes.

[@angusalvarado3064]

7:10 I think that's overthinking it, Monster Hunter is no stranger to having odd landmarks.

[@dylangough5673]

One thing I’m super hoping for is a new weapon. I know that’s a lot to ask for but it would be kinda cool tbh

[@DarlexGardenWarden]

The Baboon Bears look related to Goss Harag

[@thiyolanmoodley4022]

I'm so excited, and I can't wait for the pro and noob experience 🎉

[@DylanZZ3]

what i got from the trailer was that is there is a good chance it i gonna be a open world game and that sand storm is probably caused by an elder dragon which is probably the flagship for mhw

[@VenomPureEvil]

I hope we get massive underground areas like elden ring. What if the big rock is that flagship hiding in plain sight

[@stevenpaul7717]

The possibility of a MH survival game working outside the confines of a village and the guild. The thousands of hours you could dump into a game like that, not that you can't dump thousands of hours into any of the past MH games but just something completely fresh.

[@dynogamer1377]

i feel a misconception getting around is that the moving sand reveal means the map actively shifts. From what I can tell, it’s just the sand from the storm that just billowed through clearing with some wind. this is evidenced partially by Rathalos flying (more accurately gliding) in the same direction

[@xaviersaenz1375]

10:25 ngl, that not only caught me off guard, but i didn't even notice them til now, and damn did you get a laugh out of me🤣

[@erickchristensen746]

If you look close in certain frames you can see a Clutch Claw on one arm and Scout Fly cage on his belt. Also nobody has pointed it out but, the trailer didn’t feature a palicoe joining the hunter at all.

[@PrimalDragon1740]

I truly cant wait. This is a game with immense scale and that means something for Monster Hunter as a whole. Just imagining what they can do with this one if done right. I hope we get a remaster/port of one of the older games while waiting like Tri of 4 Ultimate. It has to happen while we're waiting and those 2 are some of the best classic gamss. It feels criminal not to have anything exactly on the exact year of MH's 20th anniversary.

[@krysmphoenix6010]

Omfg those tiny raptors are so cute! So looking at the best things chasing the player, I would love it to be a case of "medium monsters" that are dangerous but the easy stuff in comparison. Our Great Jaggi's, Kulu-ya-ku, Barroth, stuff like that. Not quite apex predators but that middle ground. Fighting in groups definitely makes it more dynamic. Recent games have put a subtle emphasis on how Elder Dragons mess with weather and the environment itself. I could really see that coming into play much further with various zones changing based on the "aura" of the nearest Elder. And if we go with our flagship trailer theory, theres room for our flagship to be responsible for the lightning dust storms.

[@AscendantStoic]

1-Two weapons (swappable) 2-Semi-open map (maybe with 2-3 biomes) 3-Dynamic weather 4-Slingshot (but no grappling hook?) 5-Scoutflies? 6-Protable tent/camp 7-Hardcore Survival MH (my body is ready!)

[@leonidasvonsparta]

This rock in the title picture looks to me like something did an super large beam that rushed through a mountain and that's what's left.

[@princetbug]

6:50 I've already said it a ton, probably will say it a ton more-- the grass is there before. it doesn't suddenly spring up, the dust on top of it just blown off. You can see earlier that the grass is under some dust or sand.

[@masonstewart6232]

I have theory for a new monster in Wilds that involves the game's main title and logo. Both Rise and Sunbreak's logos reveal a monster or two that are involved in the story, with Narwa and Ibushi for Rise's logo, and Malzeno in Sunbreak's. Besides that, there are a few logos in past generations that also hint a monster. Mh Dos's logo appears to have Kushala's face on it if you look at one of the heads, MhGU's logo has Valstrax's comet, and MHWIB's has Safi'jiiva and his sapphire (this one could be a stretch, but it looks like him.) Looking at the title and logo for Wilds, there appears to be several long serpents, two of them which catch my eye. The large one on top that is roaring in the sky, and the colorless one at the bottom. Both have different head shapes as well. Combined with my theory, this makes me believe one of three things! One, this is the final boss. A giant snake, perhaps more akin in design to Dalamadur than Narwa and Ibushi. Two, this is the flagship of the game, which could be likely as most Monster Hunter games hint at their flagships in their logos, or 3, this logo means nothing and the flagship and final boss are something different entirely. Anyways, what do you think of my theory?

[@jonathondavisfullbodyphysi291]

Very interesting! I didn't even notice!

[@quinnatoc2770]

I thought the same thing, notice how one the the larger serpents tail ends in a maze formation resembling the landmark front and centre of the final scene we're shown.

[@Jonathan13080]

I could be wrong but that sword to me looks more like LS. There’re already LS that have similar styles like Great Wroggi’s, Akantor’s LS, also Windeater LS from MH3U, etc. If you notice, previews games with GS intros have a heavy/strong look on the GS.

[@ruiribeiro8010]

We didn't see flight at all tho, we saw it gliding.

[@Coyoteblues1999]

I’ve always wanted lagiacrus back, but I think najarala would fit perfectly in this biome, and maybe they could finally make more snake wyverns

[@twennysebben]

I like the idea that your mount serves as your tent, your transport, *and* your cart when you faint.

[@TundraCrow]

If the bow on the side saddle is a indicator of possible in the field weapon swap without having to go back to a camp would be tactical to give you options to change up your weapon or even the type of damage depending on the monster and what you need done to hunt the parts you want Like a Baroth caked in mud bringing a water weapon to make quick work of that layer of mud then switching to a more effective weapon later in the fight.

[@Alex-ge9dv]

Anyoneelse thinking that the logo drop at the end of the trailer almost looks watery like water drops hitting a calm lake plus the reflection of the "Wilds" text. Lagi confirmed

[@williamwatson9781]

An open world monster hunter is something we have been asking for a long while now and something the devs have expressed interest in doing. I really do think this is it, and I hope the longer development cycle for it also means a longer post launch cycle. Im also hoping for mounted combat and water combat. If that lil raptor boi can fight Imma build everything into it cuz I love it.

[@Willow4526]

I feel like our mount is definitely going to be able to fight with us, considering they like adding in palico so that solo hunters have some kind of help & if it's possible they aren't in the game than our mounts a no brainer to me.

[@seiran0018]

I can’t help but feel like they made a Tobi Kadachi Mount variant for us. Looks sick as hell.

[@SlippyDeSnake]

I cant wait for Red dead redemption: Monster hunter edition, i hope its just one MASSIVE map where you have to traverse through all the different biomes, progressing the main quests along with side quests. Having to legit track down the monster your hunting through the open world sounds like so much fun. The hype is real

[@The_Dying_Rose]

Things I want to see in this game: 1. Bring back real hunting, make us find the things 2. Open world, this game really looks like an open world game so this should be a given. 3. Multiple villages, seeing as this is likely open world this should also be added 4. Being back the gargantuan monsters! Dalamadur, Daran Moran, gogmazios, all would be awesome to encounter around the world. 5. Bring back the sand boats, would be very helpful for mobility and crossing desserts, and you could fight giant sand monsters during events. 6. Put in good sea combat, if you have sand boats you can have boats on the water, could be interesting fighting lagi from a boat, and while you are at that bring back underwater combat and make it good 7. This would add another layer to combat, and not at all required but it would be fun. Aerial combat. You could be on an airship or something, and a rathalos appears. You defend the ship and maybe they also have a few more mounts that this raptor guy, such as a flying one specifically for air combat. 8. New weapons, would be cool but not necessarily required.

[@Odd1006]

idk why but having to actually go out and find the monster in the world just sounds awesome to me. Ive had many nights laying in bed thinking of how a open world monster hunter would work, really hope this game answers my questions lol

[@The_Dying_Rose]

@@Odd1006 my first monster hunter was mg4u, and I've wanted an open world game since.

[@Odd1006]

@@The_Dying_Rose Same, mh4u is sooo good. I just think open world monster hunter is kind of meant to be

[@JRDBrennan]

Surely serpent wyverns are gonna be a thing look at the sigil… which means we’ve gotta be getting dalamadur

[@Amarok1886]

yup. Need this even if I have to buy a whole new setup: Edit - Wjhat i'm hoping for in Wilds is a massive open map that you as a lone hunter, can freely travel over, maybe working for the Guild, but choosing what village to settle in for a season (or a day) where you are just a wandering hunter helping out here and there. Maybe you can hunt and gather as you choose to trade for gear and supplies, a better mount, or zenny to purchase a plot of land you can slowly build up to be your own home. Maybe that's too much, but this is a next gen game and coming from incredibly creative minds.

[@Yamina]

Its giving me vibes more like Aztec/Mayan in a prairie and rocky desert thing. I don't really see African influences. Also, the mount does not fly, at least not in this trailer. The action shown is clearly gliding, not flight. I do like that it used the feathers not only on its arms, but also the feathers on the tail. When it lands you can see the tail feathers smooth out as how flared they had looked during the gliding portion.

[@zepicklejho106]

Wilds almost looks like a perfect blend between World and Rise. The movement (from what I could see/guess) looks to feel more like Rise's movement, but the world (get it?) definitely seems to take more after World. words canot express how hype I am, that is exactly what I wanted from the next Monster Hunter game. Now I'm just hoping that the weapon and armor designs take more after Rise/Sunbreak rather than World/Iceborne

[@sobakiin1797]

I nearby christen our new mount: The Palociraptor

[@dientimuri3956]

When I first saw the name, the first thing that came into my mind was 'Breath of the Wild'. What if the reason that the maps look so expansive is that the entire world is a single contiguous map with many biomes within the one gigantic map, even with the few small hunter camps and maybe one or two major villages that are part of the map instead of being separate zones? Also in the vein of Stories, as you mentioned it in relation to the bird wyvern mount...I think it'd be rather intriguing if the questgivers are wyvern elders or wyverians interpretting for said elders, with your tasks to be to keep the land in balance. You mentioned that possibility when mentioning the solitary hunter, and I think that would be quite interesting with new mission types. No longer just capture or kill quests, but perhaps a few missions where you have to follow and observe monsters to check their behaviors, or others where you have to lure a monster or group of monsters away from one location to another instead of directly fighting them. On the note of the mount itself, I hope that later trailers will reveal it to be a combat companion as well and the animations or systems for that just aren't ready to reveal yet. And if that one is not the only style of mount/companion, that could open up whole new areas to explore.

[@VileMr.Grinch]

I am sooooo hype ! Africa could be the inspiration but I can also see it being south american, "the mount is most likely inspired by Kukulcan" was my first thought. But just imagine when you're a 4 hunter party, and the monster you're hunting starts booking it, all 4 call for the mount and immediately give chase across the desert or jungle. IT'LL FEEL AND LOOK SO GODDAMN COOL !
