Storyline

A group of explorers led by former hunter Fabius finds a boy named Nata in the wasteland. Nata claims to hail from the Forbidden Lands, a harsh, uncharted region of the Old World that was presumed to be uninhabited. Nata's people, the Keepers, were attacked by the "White Wraith", a monster previously thought to be extinct. Fabius summons a recently promoted hunter and their palico to investigate the monster and escort Nata home. The hunter, palico, and Nata are joined by Alma, a guild handler, and Gemma, a blacksmith, forming the Avis Unit. Also on the expedition are the Astrum Unit: Olivia, a veteran hunter, Athos, Olivia's palico, Erik, a botanist, and Werner, a guild engineer. The Guild explores the Forbidden Lands, finding and assisting the native people against aggressive monsters and abnormal weather. Along their travels, they encounter the White Wraith, revealed to be an albino wyvern with chain-like appendages that kills apex predators by absorbing their life energy. The Guild discovers that the lands are connected by a mysterious structure called the Landspine, damaged and leaking a white crystalline substance known as wyvern milk, or "wylk", all of which appears tied to the weather in each biome. The Landspine leads them to the ruins of Wyveria, the former capital of an ancient civilization, where Nata is reunited with the Keepers. There, they learn that Wyveria created the Dragontorch, a powerful source of infinite energy which was distributed across the lands via the Landspine, and Guardian Monsters, artificial monsters meant to defend Wyveria. The White Wraith, known as Arkveld, is also a Guardian, but is out of control from absorbing the traits of other monsters, now attacking local fauna and threatening the ecosystem, forcing the hunter to kill it. The group eventually locates the Dragontorch in the ruins, but discovers an angelic, dragon-like Guardian, Zoh Shia, feeding directly from the torch. Zoh Shia was Wyveria's secret weapon, created to defend the empire against an unknown threat, but it turned on them, causing the civilization's fall. After consulting the Keepers and the Allharken, a Wyverian sage, Avis Unit confronts Zoh Shia, with the…

Gameplay

Similar to its predecessor, Wilds is an action role-playing video game played from a third-person perspective. In Wilds, players take on the role of a custom hunter character who travels to the "Forbidden Lands", a distant, unexplored landmass with an ecosystem filled with unique monsters. As with previous games in the series, the player's hunter tracks and fights monsters, either capturing or slaying them, from which they gain rewards in the form of monster parts and other resources. Along with other resources collected in the game world, the player can then craft new armor, weapons, consumables, and other gear, which allow them to fight more difficult monsters. The game world features several biomes, each of which is a large open world for players to freely explore. In Wilds, players can seamlessly move between the larger world and their hunter village where they can cook food, replenish their supplies, and craft new gear. Quests can also be started whenever players locate their targets in the wilds. The game introduces a type of mount called a Seikret which aids player exploration and directs them towards their current objective, and can also be ridden while in combat. The Seikret allows the player character to carry two distinct weapons while hunting monsters, though armor can only be changed in the village. All 14 types of weapons from World return in Wilds, though new moves and actions have been introduced. The Slinger also returns in Wilds with new features added, allowing players to grab items from afar and trigger environmental hazards. The game features a "focus mode", enabling players to launch targeted attacks against specific body parts of a monster. Wounds on a monster can be further exploited to deal extra damage. Wounds are created by repeatedly striking a specific monster body part until visible scarring appears; once opened, wounds can be targeted using Focus Mode and destroyed with a Focus Strike — a powerful weapon-specific attack that deals greatly increased damage and staggers the monster. Monsters in the game will interact with each other, with predators hunting prey and certain monsters exhibiting herd behaviors to better protect…
