A trailer containing an in-game video of 'Wild Hearts', a new hunting action game being developed by Omega Force, a developer under Koei Tecmo, was released today (28th).
The trailer released this time provides a glimpse of the in-game play elements along with the monsters the player will hunt in 'Wild Hearts'. The monsters appearing in 'Wild Hearts' look reminiscent of the land god in 'Mononoke Hime' of Studio Ghibli. From giant prickly boars to flowering voles, rocky-skinned monkeys and chilled wolves or house-sized birds. It is no exaggeration to say that it is the embodiment of nature.
In order to hunt these mighty monsters, you need to use your own weapons as well as a unique tool that is specialized for dealing with monsters while cooperating with your colleagues. The weapons that could be confirmed in the trailer were an umbrella, a bow, and three Japanese swords. In the case of an umbrella, it was possible to see it hovering in the air for a relatively long time, and the Japanese sword reminds of a plain sword and wields it like a whip, so it is expected that unique gimmicks may be hidden depending on the type.
It is expected that a site-breaking system also exists. Although it was not possible to confirm the change in the pattern due to the destruction of the part, it is possible to confirm through the trailer that a part of the monster's body is destroyed by a powerful blow. In addition, as the video shows 3 people hunting monsters, it is expected to support up to 3 co-op.
On the other hand, in the trailer, we were able to confirm the appearance of a unique tool to help with hunting. A wooden box that is small enough to be climbed on the palm of the hand called an ancient tool transforms into a variety of tools and helps hunting. It can transform into a kind of glider to avoid attacks from the ground, or transform into a giant hammer or bomb to inflict great damage, as well as restrict the movement of monsters by transforming into a ballista. Through this, it is expected that various strategies will be required depending on the monster.
'Wild Hearts' is scheduled to be released on February 17, 2023 for PC, PlayStation, and Xbox.
