Monster Hunter Wilds Is Coming to Nintendo Switch 2, Capcom Confirms
Capcom has officially confirmed that Monster Hunter Wilds is in development for Nintendo Switch 2, bringing one of the company’s biggest action RPG releases to Nintendo’s next-generation console.
Details about the Switch 2 version are still limited, but the announcement is major news for fans who have been waiting to hunt massive monsters on Nintendo hardware again. Capcom has not yet shared a release date, gameplay footage, performance details, or information about how the Switch 2 version will compare to the editions currently available on other platforms. More updates are expected at a later date.
Monster Hunter Wilds is already available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC through Steam. The game has attracted attention for its large open environments, dynamic ecosystems, intense monster battles, and expanded hunting mechanics. A Nintendo Switch 2 version could make the experience even more accessible, especially for players who enjoy portable or hybrid gaming.
The news also arrives alongside the announcement of a major new expansion titled Monster Hunter Wilds: Ascendance. Capcom described the expansion as a massive addition to the game, though full details have not yet been revealed. Fans can likely expect new monsters, fresh hunting challenges, additional gear, and expanded content designed to build on the core Monster Hunter Wilds experience.
With Monster Hunter Wilds already established on current-generation consoles and PC, its upcoming arrival on Nintendo Switch 2 could become one of the most anticipated third-party releases for the new system. For now, players will have to wait for Capcom to reveal more about the port, including its launch window and exclusive features, if any.
Monster Hunter Wilds is available now for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. The Nintendo Switch 2 version is currently in development.
