Many players are looking forward to the arrival of "Monster Hunter: Wilderness". However, due to the hardware limitations of the Nintendo Switch console, the game will not be available on Switch, which also disappoints some players.


At a recent shareholders' meeting, a shareholder asked Capcom: "You have announced that you will launch "Monster Hunter: Wilderness" on PS5, XSX|S and PC, but not Switch. Will this game not be launched on such platforms?"

Capcom replied: "We have incorporated the latest technology into Monster Hunter: Wilderness. The limit of this technology is to show the greatest charm of Monster Hunter World. Currently, only PS5, XSX|S and PC platforms can achieve this."

Capcom is focusing on using the advanced features of next-generation consoles and high-end PCs to showcase the world of Monster Hunter: Wildlands. Although the game will not be available on Switch, some people speculate that it may be available on Switch 2, because it is rumored that Switch 2 has performance comparable to PS4 Pro, so Nintendo can handle this game with some adjustments.


Players of Monster Hunter: Wilderness will be entrusted with an investigation mission to embark on an adventure in this unexplored area. After arriving here, the investigation team first investigated the natural desert, which is composed of multiple areas with unique characteristics such as deserts, grasslands and rock fields. Monsters living here include sand sea dragons, beasts, and frogs. In the forbidden land, in addition to encountering large and small monsters with group thinking, there is also a dynamic environment that changes all the time. This game will be released in 2025 and will be available on PS5, XSX/S and Steam platforms, supporting cross-platform play.
