As Electronic Arts announced a few days ago, a livestream for Wild Hearts did take place on September 28, 2022, in order to discover the first Monster Hunter like from the American publisher. In reality, it is a collaboration between the American publisher, Koei Tecmo and the Japanese studio Omega Force under the EA Originals label. Ambitions are high for Wild Hearts, which hopes to grab market share from Capcom's juicy Monster Hunter license, which has been making record sales since it has interested Western audiences. Unlike Capcom's title, Wild Hearts takes place in a fantastic feudal Japan where hunters will have to face kemonos, giant beasts that have merged with their environment, thanks to karakuris, sophisticated mechanisms designed from ancestral technologies. and forgotten. These creatures were once peaceful, but have obviously been corrupted and it will undoubtedly be necessary to confront them to find their reason and stop sowing chaos in their region.
Visually impressive and quite original in the creation of its beasts, Wild Hearts will also offer a very inspired arsenal for hunters, who will be able to customize their equipment. The game will be playable solo or with others in cooperation, up to 3 people simultaneously, knowing that cross-play between all platforms will be offered at the time of the game's release. Electronic Arts informs us that Wild Hearts will be doubled in English, Japanese, French, Italian, German and Spanish and that its release date is set for February 17, 2023 on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series.
