Get a first look at Monster Hunter Wilds running on Nintendo Switch 2 - Nintendo Everything

Some of the first gameplay of the new Nintendo Switch 2 version of Monster Hunter Wilds has now emerged. Capcom recently showed off this version ahead of its appearance at the 2026 Tokyo Game Show.

Thanks to GameSpot, we have 17 minutes of footage. Everything shown here is for handheld mode, so we’ll need to wait a bit longer to see docked play.

Those that need a refresher on the title can read the following overview:

The unbridled force of nature runs wild and relentless, with environments transforming drastically from one moment to the next.

This is a story of monsters and humans and their struggles to live in harmony in a world of duality.

Fulfill your duty as a Hunter by tracking and defeating powerful monsters and forging strong new weapons and armor from the materials you harvest from your hunt as you uncover the connection between the people of the Forbidden Lands and the locales they inhabit.

The ultimate hunting experience awaits you in Monster Hunter Wilds.

A few years past, a young boy named Nata was rescued at the border of the Forbidden Lands, an unexplored region the guild has yet to survey.

After hearing the boy’s tale of his lone escape from a mysterious monster that attacked his village, the Guild organized an expedition into the Forbidden Lands to investigate.
