With the two previous games World and RISE being Steam Deck Verified, I'm hopeful that Monster Hunter Wilds will also be playable on Steam Deck (and Desktop Linux) with Valve's Proton when it launches February 28, 2025.
The release date was announced during Sony's State of Play and if you've played any of the previous games, you'll largely know what to expect. Big battles against lots of varied fearsome foes. The new trailer shows off the flagship monster at the center of the story in Monster Hunter Wilds, Arkveld. The trailer also showcases plenty of the different environments and weather systems at play too. Definitely looks to be the most varied in the series so far.
Brand new trailer is below:

I have to admit I'm really out of date on Monster Hunter, I really need to go back through the last two and give them a thorough play-through as this really looks awesome. Will you be picking it up?
You can pre-order on Steam.
Seems like they blended Rise and World together (mount system from Rise and environment interaction from World)
The store page is a mess, they didn't format the text and it's fucking unreadable, and we barely learn anything from the game. Wtf Capcom, you don't have the money to hire someone to do a better job at formating text and making the game appealing?
If you hope for some epic story like God of War you will not find it here, even the battles with the monsters weren't that interesting. Most of the time it feels like Live service game, but without trying to get more money from you (I can see how this could be easily added to the game).
Quoting: ZlopezI tried the Monster Hunter World and after first hour it started to feel like just a grind. The start was awesome cinematic epic story introduction, but after that you will get so many confusing things to do and for everything you need to grind your way to it.

- 1. The game is grindy by design, and designed to be an enjoyable grind with a strong focus on the enjoyment arising from the sense of progression, which is impeded for new players in the case of see 2.
- 2. Did you use the Guardian Armor and Weapons? Those will kill the experience for new players in particular because you don't get into the progression feedback loop. The Guardian equipment is intended for returning or replaying hunters that want to rush into Iceborne.
- "Given the opportunity, players will optimise the fun out of a game."
- 3. The story was never the focus, the early games didn't even have a story to speak of outside of lore bits sprinkled into item descriptions and similar.
