Daisy Ridley Stars in Monster Hunter Wilds Lore Video

Monster Hunter Wilds is set to release in 2025, and fans could not be more excited. Although Rise offered a twist on the Monster Hunter experience, the new game follows in the footsteps of the breakout Monster Hunter Worlds, which utilized then-modern consoles and their power to their fullest. If you’re not caught up on lore, a new video featuring Star Wars and Young Woman and the Sea actress Daisy Ridley can help acclimate you to the world of Monster Hunter ahead of the next big release. Here’s what you’ll find in the video!

Utilizing footage from the Monster Hunter franchise throughout the years, the new video “Welcome to Monster Hunter” keenly shows that the Capcom series has accomplished quite a bit. In a straightforward way, we see firsthand how the series has progressed and grown in scope and scale. Covertly, we also see a game that easily could have died off years ago, decades even. What helps the series persist, outside of a fervent fanbase of course, is that the gameplay loop is so enticing. Returning to your village and gearing up to kill monsters that get you better gear. It’s so simple. Yet, Monster Hunter does it better than anyone who tries to copy the formula.

There have been console Monster Hunter games, handheld entries, and even the spin-off series Monster Hunter Stories. At the heart of it is a great-paced gameplay cycle that should really maximize modern consoles upon the release of Monster Hunter Wilds. Catch up on the things you’ve missed if you’re new to the franchise, or enjoy the catch-up with one of the most underrated actresses around right now, at least if you ask me. You can watch the Daisy Ridley video for Monster Hunter Wilds below. Let us know in the comments if you’re excited about this upcoming 2025 release!
