The much anticipated Monster Hunter Wilds is all set to launch later this week, bringing with it a fresh new monster hunting experience for newcomers and veterans alike.
Interestingly, Wilds is the first Monster Hunter to feature current-gen only ports – being released for the PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. More on the game’s exact release date and time for all three of its platforms in the sections below.
