Monster Hunter Wilds was announced with a reveal trailer shown at The Game Awards in 2023. With plenty of sweeping shots of what we now know as the Windward Plains and a stampede of Doshaguma, our first introduction to Monster Hunter Wilds was pretty much just a teaser.

Monster Hunter World: The Board Game – Wildspire Waste puts a well-paced and adventure-packed spin on the genre. Narrative elements give it depth as it leans into the story with Gloomhaven-esque choose-your-own-adventure segments, though it stays true to the Monster Hunter franchise with nuanced mechanics and familiar foes to boot.
