The Game Awards 2023 was an exciting night of world premiers, but to close out the event Capcom revealed the next game in its popular Monster Hunter series along with its first trailer, showcasing all sorts of massive predators to hunt.

Monster Hunter Wilds follows Monster Hunter World which launched in 2018 globally, and according to series producer Ryozo Tsujimoto in a recent interview with PlayStation, the game features "a new level of detailed creatures and ecosystems" and will use the PS5's technology to its full potential.
"The combination of cutting-edge hardware and [the] latest Monster Hunter title will be unmissable!"

"We have only been able to reach this significant milestone thanks to your support... With these 20 years of success behind us, we hope to ride this momentum and bring you bigger, better, and even more exciting hunting experiences that will thrill and surprise you. We invite you, dear hunters, to join us on the journey ahead."
