“WILD HEARTS takes place in Azuma, a fantasy landscape inspired by feudal Japan, that is now rampaged by the once peaceful Kemono – altering their environment at the cost of citizens’ lives. The Kemono range from plant-infused squirrels to the massive Kingtusk wild boar. After a dreadful fight with the winter wolf Deathstalker, players become bearers of a life sustaining technology and are compelled to restore balance across the region.”
Executive VP of Koei Tecmo Games said the following about the reveal of Wild Hearts:
“With Wild Hearts, not only did we want to showcase the evolution, infusion and real threat caused by Kemono, but we also wanted to create a game where crafting was at the core of the experience, redefining what can be possible in a beast hunting game. We have placed great care in designing our Karakuri to fit within the combat, and we’re excited for players to use these powerful mechanisms to fight giant beasts and traverse the world.”
If this Monster Hunter-inspired game looks like something you’re interested in, you won’t have to wait long to get more information or to play the game. There’s an extended gameplay reveal coming on October 5th, and Wild Hearts is scheduled to release on February 17th for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC.
