With all the recent material released for Monster Hunter Wilds, it looks as though the game will take the series forward similarly to how MH World did back in 2018 – especially when it comes to the Handler. Just visually, the game is already a massive step-up, but the title also benefits from bigger environments, greater ecological elements, and a myriad of new monsters to hunt. There are some elements that players could take or leave, such as Palicoes and the player character being voice acted, but it is clear that there are going to be a lot of changes.
