Monster Hunter Wilds was announced at The Game Awards 2023 and is scheduled for release in 2025, making it quite a distant prospect for fans. With the release window set for 2025, it is anticipated that there may not be a significant amount of new information about the game in 2024. Instead, Capcom is expected to focus its promotional efforts on Dragon’s Dogma 2, its major game for 2024.

The unveiling of Monster Hunter Wilds at The Game Awards 2023 came as a surprise to many, especially considering Capcom’s typical pattern of releasing Monster Hunter games without prior announcement. While the gameplay footage showcased was limited, the 2025 release window indicated that the game is still in the early stages of development, potentially leading to a lack of substantial updates in 2024.

It is plausible that Monster Hunter Wilds may make sporadic appearances in 2024, particularly towards the end of the year, but overall, it is expected that the franchise will have a relatively quiet year in 2024, with the focus shifting to a more eventful 2025, barring any unforeseen surprises.

Capcom’s current priority is likely to maintain the spotlight on Dragon’s Dogma 2 until its release at the end of March. As the flagship game for 2024, it is reasonable for the company to direct its marketing efforts towards Dragon’s Dogma 2, allowing Monster Hunter Wilds to continue its development following the initial announcement at The Game Awards 2023. With gameplay footage already revealed, there is no immediate urgency for further marketing, and it is probable that no additional information will be shared until after the release of Dragon’s Dogma 2.
