Monster Hunter Wilds coming to Nintendo Switch 2

gamingJun 6, 2026781,901

Monster Hunter Wilds is coming to Nintendo Switch 2, with Capcom confirming a Switch 2 version and announcing the Ascendance expansion for 2027. Creators are producing illustrations, short animatics, cosplay, figure customs, and edits that emphasize airborne hunting, Master Rank monsters, and Elder Dragons. Recurring subjects include Kushala Daora, Rathalos-themed Felyne figure variants, and Zinogre or Stygian Zinogre, alongside speculation about skybound locales like the Eastlands and new gear such as the Boost Bracer. Some pieces also reimagine Frontier monsters like Garuba Daora and crab-like bird creature concepts.

Not My Problem™28

Switch 2 running Monster Hunter Wilds (unless they somehow found a way to fix the low resolution, LOD, & performance problems the game had on launch on both PC and Consoles)

they should make a good monster hunter for switch 2

While I really hope we get a Rise successor on Switch 2 I am so excited for this, unlike most people I absolutely LOVE Monster Hunter Wilds, I hope it launches in a better state than the PC version but Monster Hunter belongs on a handheld and I will absolutely buy it again

Nintendo Switch 2 Has All The GAMESSSSSSSSSSS

Honestly I'm pretty interested in seeing how this one runs. The Switch 2 does have DLSS, so maybe it'll perform better than the Series S version?

A game by the portable series team would've been nice too..... I've been having sunbreak GL withdrawals....

They should port World to Switch 2 first tbh. That'd definitely run great and probably give the devs some more experience getting demanding games on the console.

I assume this involves rolling up their sleeves and showing Capcom how to fucking port

For some reason this reminded me that Borderlands 4 was supposed to come out on Switch 2.

Cherry2

Should have made an exclusive one instead

Elden Ring and Monster Hunter Wilds...it seems buying a Switch 2 was well worth it.

if MonHun Wilds Ascendance is going to take place high up in the sky, then theres an opportunity to introduce Garuba Daora from Frontier to western audiences

Capcom and Square Enix are crushing the simultaneous multiplatform releases, love to see it. That said, it’s actually insane to me that there still isn’t a Switch 2 version of Monster Hunter Wilds

Sayla💕 but Squish🤏🦄

@sayladarkmode.bsky.social

hey sorry I was asleep and this was sent to me so much I woke up I know AC6 only because it was heavily posted alongside GWitch when I got into gundam and this looks like *that* like way more than gundam to me *weird* could be the "ibo monster hunter" I've clamored for just without the ibo though

shot from the gundam rogue orbit cinematic with the gundam doing a jumping swing with bits against a monster thing I guess

it's also got like fucking doom music what the hell is this game kjzhdfbhjvzd

Zelia☄️3

the mechanical design feels soo odd for gundam, this one really just doesn't vibe with the machine art direction being used for "Gundam"

Sayyadina2

Yeah, it's very "AC6 did amazing, we have a robot franchise too, our last few games haven't done well, let's just do that!" Also, Helix reminds me a lot of Eight, especially the head design. I think giving it the traditional colors would go a long way towards making it feel "more Gundam".
