Monster Hunter Wilds is undoubtedly one of the most highly anticipated games of 2025, despite the year being immensely stacked with other big titles as well. While Monster Hunter Wilds is following Monster Hunter Rise, it's technically a successor to the 2018 hit that brought the franchise into the mainstream, Monster Hunter: World. Ultimately, Monster Hunter Wilds is an action RPG that builds upon the foundation established by Monster Hunter: World, with its seamless open world and lifelike ecosystems, alongside some new mechanics like the Seikret mount and a Focus mode designed to help players target their attacks more efficiently. However, despite in every way being an action RPG and in every way also being a Monster Hunter game, Monster Hunter Wilds has been tagged as a dating sim on Steam.
