Hell yeah, after hearing about the Dragons Dogma 2 being the game that they would release next I wasn't expecting any news on the next generation of Monster Hunter until later next year.
Sadly it's a 2025 release, but I certainly like what I see from the trailer. Hopefully they go the World route (which it looks like they do) rather than Rise. Focusing on immersion and ecology rather than a boss rush mode.
Announced for Steam, Xbox and PS5 which makes me think there might coming to the platforms at the same time rather than 1 year after, like Worlds did, maybe I hope too much though.
Seeing flock animals, a mount and very open looking areas makes it seem like they are focusing on expanding the areas more. World did this great, but it was still very confined. Curious what they will introduce and rework in the next generation. Hopefully they do something with traps, I like capturing monsters ofc, but it never felt great just placing a trap under them and then tranquilize them. Always imagined you might have to place traps beforehand and then maybe lure a monster down a path when it's hurt (maybe with bait and such) or learning about their nests and place traps there...etc etc.
Then again that might make it a bit too convoluted... anyway. Hyped as fuck.
Gonna spend 2024 with replaying Iceborn with the Ice mod that rework some stuff.
