Monster Hunter Wilds is undoubtedly one of the titles to keep a close eye on next year. And as if the hype of the last few months wasn’t clear enough: it’s well on its way to becoming a monster hit.
To say that Monster Hunter Wilds is one of the most anticipated games of next year would be an understatement at this point. It was enough to see the endless queue at Gamescom, which never got shorter as the hours passed, that of the Tokyo Game Show or even PGW 2024 to see the enthusiasm for this new installment. A surge in popularity that is all the more noticeable now that Monster Hunter Wilds is now available to everyone for free.

That’s it. No more waiting for every speech from Capcom, the big day has come. No need to drive to a salon or subscribe to PS Plus. Monster Hunter Wilds’ big free demo is now available to everyone. From 1Is until November 4th at 2:59 a.m. French timeAll players can get rid of the monster freely. Specifically, the Japanese publisher will allow you to create your character from A to Z with almost all the customization options that will be available when the game launches on February 28, 2025. Each hunter created can then be transferred to the final version.
Once the fashion moment is over, your character can finally take action by taking part in some missions. So this is an opportunity to discover some passages of the story and get to know the characters of the game. What’s even more interesting is that you can face off against the formidable Doshaguma Alpha, one of the new creatures in Monster Hunter Wilds.

Its predecessor broke all records for the franchise, but MH Wilds could well be on its way to becoming one of Capcom’s biggest successes.
