Some video packages uploaded were a Basic Mechanics Overview, a Focus Mode showcase, and a weapon demonstration forMonster Hunter’s iconic Great Sword, among others. While the Basic Mechanics video focused on the new Seikret mount and slinger functions, and the Focus Mode clip discussed the new targeting system, it was the weapon demo video that made fans believe that the game would come out in early 2025. Capcom posted a similar weapon demo reel forMonster Hunter Worldon July 27, 2025, which was six months before the game’s initial release date.Monster Hunter Risedid something similar by uploading weapon trailers three months before it came out.
While the aforementioned dates are still early theories, the evidence looks to support the pattern discovered. WithMonster Hunter Wildsreleasing on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox on the same day, it is highly likely that Capcom has already prepared its game plan to ensure that its target release dates can be met, and that big releases can start the year right. After all, Capcom has a history of releasing previousMonster Huntergames during the first quarter of the year.
