The whole world is holding its breath and waiting for news about Monster Hunter Wilds. And rightly so – not only is it the follow-up to Capcom’s best-selling game of all time (Monster Hunter World), it also promises to expand on the multiplayer side of the series in the same way World did. It’s got MonHun fans, old and new, pretty hot under the collar.
But it’s still quite some ways off, yet. All we know is that it’s coming in 2025. So, if your Gunlance trigger finger is getting itchy and your sword arm is hankering for a fight, you should try Monster Hunter Now – a mobile game from the makers of Pokemon Go that, honestly, I boot up at least five or six times a day.
If you’re a regular on the site, you will know I’ve beaten this drum before. A few times, in fact. But you can’t just write about a mobile game once, these days, can you? They’re living things, evolving titles that shift and morph and grow as the seasons roll by. Monster Hunter Now, of course, is no exception, and after some fairly paltry updates in the six months since it launched, we’re finally in something of a golden age thanks to the Spring Major Update.
