Capcom is taking hunting to a whole new level in Monster Hunter Wilds. It’s not just about tracking and battling monsters anymore — you’ll have to contend with the vagaries of nature itself. During Capcom’s panel at PAX West 2024, the developers behind the game emphasized just how important weather is in Wilds.
