Redefining the Hunter's Role: A Deeper Dive into Humanity and Nature
Monster Hunter Wilds (MH Wilds) will explore the complex interplay between humanity, nature, and the monsters within its world. Capcom aims to showcase this symbiotic relationship, enriching the player character's personality and narrative. Game director Yuya Tokuda explains, "The relationship between people, nature, and monsters, and a hunter's role... We wanted to illustrate this not just through gameplay, but a deeply engaging story." He hints at future plans further developing this core theme.
Increased dialogue is a key element, allowing players to imbue their hunter with unique personality. Tokuda highlights the diverse perspectives of the game's inhabitants, citing Nata and Olivia as examples of characters with differing backgrounds and approaches to monster conflicts. "Many people with different perspectives live together. We wanted to show how the hunter would feel in such a world," he stated.
This marks a significant departure from the series' traditionally silent protagonists. However, players who prefer a focus on action over narrative need not worry.
Tokuda assures players, "Those who prefer to skip dialogue and hunt monsters can do so. The amount of text won't affect the number of monsters." This enhanced narrative experience is just the beginning; Capcom has ambitious plans to further explore the central theme of the human-nature connection.
