A December release, confirmed via Direct

Capcom's "Monster Hunter Wilds" is coming to Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo confirmed during a Nintendo Direct broadcast on September 6, 2026. The Switch 2 version releases December 4, 2026.

Alongside the standalone game, Nintendo will sell a dedicated "Monster Hunter Wilds Set" bundle — a Nintendo Switch 2 console paired with a digital copy of the game — priced at 61,980 yen.

What the Switch 2 version adds

The Switch 2 release supports local wireless multiplayer, letting up to four hunters play together by bringing their own consoles to the same location, alongside cross-play with other platform versions over the internet.

What To Know

Monster Hunter Wilds arriving on Switch 2 with local co-op for up to four hunters, plus cross-play, meaningfully expands who fans can actually hunt with — including friends who only own a Switch 2 rather than a PC or other console.

Monster Hunter is one of Capcom's most consistently popular franchises in Japan, and local co-op multiplayer specifically (rather than only online) has long been a key way friend groups play the series together during trips and gatherings in Japan.
