Monster Hunter Wilds confirmed for Nintendo Switch 2

Capcom confirmed Monster Hunter Wilds is in development for Nintendo Switch 2 and that the game is being built specifically for the console. The company did not announce a release date or provide technical or gameplay details.

The confirmation came as part of Capcom’s regular updates on the Monster Hunter franchise. Capcom confirmed the platform target but gave few specifics and did not state whether Wilds will launch on other systems or be exclusive to Nintendo’s new hardware.

The developer has not disclosed a release window, system requirements, or how Wilds will use the Switch 2’s hardware. Information on visuals, performance targets, or multiplayer support was not provided.

Monster Hunter Wilds is the next major entry in the series, which has appeared on multiple platforms, including several entries on Nintendo hardware.

No statement from Nintendo accompanied Capcom’s confirmation. Capcom stated it will share further information at a later date and did not provide details on partnerships, marketing plans, or cross-platform play.
