Monster Hunter Wilds is launching on the Nintendo Switch 2 on December 5, complete with all free DLC updates and local cooperative play.
Capcom is bringing Monster Hunter Wilds to Nintendo's successor console on December 5, according to a recent Nintendo Direct presentation. This upcoming port packs in the complete base game alongside every free title update and monster addition released so far. For players who prefer handheld sessions or portable hardware, this release represents a massive technical milestone for the platform, bringing a modern multiplatform blockbuster straight to Nintendo hardware.
Adding a nostalgic touch for longtime fans, the Switch 2 version features dedicated local cooperative play. Players can link up in the same room for hunting parties, echoing the social roots that made portable Monster Hunter titles legendary on previous generations of hardware. Alongside the port announcement, Capcom also reminded the community that the upcoming expansion, Monster Hunter Wilds: Ascension, will launch next year with a brand new region, fresh story chapters, and more targets to hunt.
Eurogamer's original review praised the title as the most refined entry in the franchise, and ongoing post-launch support has only polished the ecosystem further. Whether you are catching up on missed updates or jumping into the series for the first time, this portable edition offers a complete entry point into one of recent years' defining action role-playing experiences.
