It was almost 2 am last night when I saw something that gave me the biggest grin: A 66-second video showcasing the hunting horn in Monster Hunter Wilds. I watched it once, then again, then turned the phone to my partner to show her. "Oh that's sick," she muttered half-asleep as the horn user played a melody that created an area-of-effect buff on the battlefield.
The Hunting Horn video, part of a series of videos showcasing what's new with each weapon type in Wilds, is so short that Capcom really could've published it as a YouTube Short or TikTok, but I think the company bet on Monster Hunter fans being ravenous for any Wilds gameplay, and it was right. Since Capcom started publishing them on YouTube four days ago, these overview videos have racked up millions of views. If you had any doubt left that Wilds is gonna be the biggest Monster Hunter to date, I assume it's squashed now.
