New Field: The Scarlet Forest
The "Scarlet Forest" is a forested field that appears when you go up the river that flows through the sandy plain of the separation. In this forest, the survey team will find a waterfront with red water flowing through it.
New scissors-horned monster: Labara ballina
The scissors-horned "Rhabdala varina," which lives in the Scarlet Forest, is also known as the "stinging flower spider" because of the way its abdomen unfolds to resemble a large flower. It not only uses its long legs skillfully and quickly to hunt down its prey, but also has the ability to restrain its prey by numbing the prey by spreading cotton wool.
A field that changes between "desolate" and "fertile" seasons
PR TIMESThe vast field has two aspects: a harsh "devastation period" where hungry carnivorous monsters fight each other, and a "fertility period" where abundant life overflows after an "abnormal weather" event, allowing visitors to enjoy completely different aspects of the same location! When "abnormal weather" occurs, powerful monsters that control the top of the ecosystem will appear, which is very interesting.
The apex of the ecosystem of the "Sandy Plain of Separation": Le Dau
Reigning at the "apex" of the "Separated Sand Plains" ecosystem, the flying dragon Le Dau is adapted to sandstorms that cause massive lightning strikes, and many sightings have been made during the same climatic conditions. It is also known as a "lightning dragon" because of its dangerous electrical discharge attacks amplified by its high electrification ability.

He is a long-haired elite otomo who supports Olivia!
Rescue Signals and the New "Support Hunter" Element
When a quest begins, a distress call is sent to hunters around the world to request cooperation, allowing up to four hunters to take on the challenge of hunting a monster! In addition to the online multiplayer, you can also enjoy multiplayer hunts with NPC support hunters, even in single-player mode!
If no other players gather after a certain period of time after sending out a distress call, NPC support hunters will rush to the scene. The maximum number of players and support hunters in a distress call multiplayer game can be changed from the quest counter settings to "players only" or "support hunters only.
Base Camp
The base camp at the "Sand Fields of Separation" is the base of operations for the survey team's research in each area. In addition to the hunters' own tents, the base camp seems to be well-equipped for hunting, with facilities for purchasing items, distributing food, and a processing shop for making weapons and armor.
People living in the "Sand Fields of Separation
Village of Wind Sound Kunafa
The field is also home to settlements of people who have lived in the area for a long time, and you can enjoy the culture and lifestyle of the people who have adapted to the environment in each area!
The village of Kunafa, located on the sandy plains of the Gap, is the home of the "secreto," a herbivorous animal that has been domesticated into a livestock farm, and cheese made from its milk is a specialty of the area!
New elements that will help you explore the field are also available!
Meals
The "portable fire pit" allows you to cook and eat portable food anytime and anywhere, and to supplement your strength and other stats for a certain period of time, so you can continue hunting without worrying about your health.
If you cook roasted meat in the "Meat Grill," which can be cooked in the portable fire pit, your upper limit of physical strength will be increased to the maximum, and your strength and stamina will be surely restored.
Simple Camping
A certain number of simple camps can be set up at "candidate sites" on the vast field. These simple camps can be used for replacing items and equipment, receiving quests, etc., and may also be useful as fast-travel destinations and return points in case of downtime!
Don't miss the evolved hunting action!
a battle of wits between two opponents
Tsubagakutai (fierce fighting) may occur when you try to defend against attacks from some monsters. It is possible to push the monster back and aim for a follow-up attack when it loses its stance!
Offsetting (*only for some weapon types)
When certain weapon types are used in conjunction with a monster's attack and a specific attack action is taken, offsetting occurs, sending the monster flying away. It is also interesting to note that sometimes it is possible to derive a powerful follow-up attack from the offsetting action.
Monster Hunter Wilds" Weapon Introduction Video: Compilation (14 Weapon Types & Intensive Mode) is also available!
In "Monster Hunter Wilds," two weapons can be equipped, and while hunting, you can switch between weapons by riding "Select," a regular animal. The choice of which weapon to equip from the wide variety of weapon types depends on the hunter's sense of style!
The newly released video is full of interesting information, making us even more excited for the release of "Monster Hunter Wilds! For more information, check out the official "Monster Hunter Wilds" website!
