Monster Hunter Wilds’ first gameplay is impressive and moves the saga forward for generations.
Capcom was also present at the State of Play on May 30th and did so with first official Monster Hunter Wilds gameplay. A trailer that boasts above all graphical power and moves the saga forward several generations, at least in technical matters. Let’s remember what it will be the first Monster Hunter for PS5 and Xbox Series X|Sbecause Monster Hunter Rise, although released on both consoles, was originally on the Switch, and Monster Hunter World and its expansion Iceborne (released in 2018 and 2019, respectively) already belong to the PS4 and Xbox One era.
The game invites us to take the reins of our Secret into our hands and go to the Forbidden Lands, huge open world filled with new faces, monsters and abilities, all with more emphasis than ever on story and living and dynamic ecosystem. If this is not the first bomb of 2025, may God come down and see this:
Is Capcom experiencing a new golden age?
It seemed impossible that Capcom looked better than during the Super Nintendo days (when Aladdin, Breath of Fire, Mega Man Cry 3, Okami, Resident Evil 4 or Viewtiful Joe), but it’s time to think about it.
The Japanese company is on the rise. his resurrection This has already been more than proven. Because yes, the Japanese company recently suffered a fire as devastating as the fire in Rome in 64 AD (a fire that has become a picturesque myth today). They say that the city of the Capitoline Wolf then burned for five days in a row. In the case of Capcom It wasn’t five days in hell, it was five years. The same ones that existed between Resident Evil 6 (2012) and Resident Evil 7 (2017). And although in his case it was a metaphorical fire, it almost left us without one of the most important companies in video game history. It burned the talent of its developers and the value of its brands to the ground.
But from that conflagration chronicled in “The Fall and Resurrection of the Video Game Industry’s Phoenix,” a revamped Capcom appears to have emerged in great shape. This 2023 signed exceptional year. Not only did he push a game into the GOTY competition (Resident Evil 4 Remake), but he also had another game with a rating above 90 on Metacritic (Street Fighter 6, the saga that returned to Olympus of wrestling). He even allowed himself candies like the remaster of Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective and polygons like Exoprimal. And this applies only and exclusively to the last few months. As we go further back we have Resident Evil Village and RE 2 remake (2019 GOTY on MeriStation) or Monster Hunter World and Rise (supplies that made the hunting franchise the forefront of the company’s catalogue). For a long time, even its bugs (Resident Evil 3 Remake) have been highly recommended.
This year 2024 continued to be rich with games like Dragon’s Dogma 2, and given what was seen with Monster Hunter Wilds and Pragmata, its horizon looks promising. It’s time to raise your voice and defend Capcom as one of the strongest Japanese developers in the entire industry.
