Today Electronic Arts released a new gameplay trailer of the upcoming monster-hunting game Wild Hearts.
The trailer showcases the "Aragane" also known as the "Golden Tempest," a Tiger-like kemono capable to harness the power of the wind. Incidentally, the developers mention explicitly that this is gameplay running on PS5.
You can check it out below and see how you hunt down such a majestic beast in Wild Hearts.
Wild Hearts releases on February 17, 2023 for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. It's developed by Koei Tecmo's well-known studio Omega Force, which is mostly known for Warriors/Musou games like the Dynasty Warriors, Samurai Warriors, and Warriors Orochi series, alongside the many licensed titles like One Piece: Pirate Warriors, Hyrule Warriors, or Fire Emblem Warriors. That being said, this is not the studio's first foray in the monster-hunting genre, as it developed the Toukiden series as well.
Wild Hearts comes with a lot of elements that fans of the popular monster-hunting genre are used to, but it brings forth its own twist with the use of the "Karakuri," a mechanic that lets players create a variety of gadgets and contraptions to help them in battle in a variety of ways.
The game offers co-op gameplay, which is also showcased in today's trailer, as a team of multiple players takes on the Golden Tempest.
The game is the fruit of an intriguing partnership between Electronic Arts and Koei Tecmo, and it's certainly rather unique to see the Redwood-based publisher work with a Japanese developer. It'll be interesting to see if this trend will continue in the future, providing developers from Japan with much-needed visibility and marketing support.
