Good news, fans of repurposing dragons into your next pair of pants: Capcom has dropped a trio of short gameplay overviews for Monster Hunter Wilds, the follow-up to Monster Hunter: World which is due out in 2025. One video highlights the slow-moving, heavy-hitting Greatsword weapon type, while the second covers some basics of Monster Hunter gameplay, touching on the new Seikret mounts and improved arm-mounted Slinger. The third, meanwhile, has some real meat for Monster Hunter sickos, revealing Focus Mode: a new mechanic for precision-targeting attacks, highlighting monster weak points, and enabling new special moves.
Focus Mode, Capcom says, "allows you to carefully aim your attacks or guards." In practice, it looks like an aiming mode you can seamlessly transition into while your weapon's drawn, similar to the aiming modes previously enabled for Monster Hunter's ranged weapons. In Focus Mode, you'll gain a shooter-style aiming reticle even if you're using a melee weapon, providing more precise control for aiming your attacks and blocks.
