Enthusiasts are already eagerly anticipating the future and this trailer showcasing the gameplay has sparked speculation about numerous potential additions, such as the Windward Plains region.

Did the hunter switch from a Great Sword to a Bowgun while mounted?

During the presentation, we were treated to intense combat gameplay that featured the unveiling of several weapons. Additionally, they introduced a handful of new monsters.

Doshaguma – a highly territorial and aggressive that comes in large packs
Chatacabra – an amphibian that uses saliva to strengthen its forelegs
Ceratonoth – a beast that catches lightning strikes with their back and unleashing them to the ground
Dalthydon – a wyvern that fights back with its headshell when it senses danger

There is also a newly introduced, nimble mount called Seikret. The most significant alteration, however, allows for the seamless switching to a secondary weapon without having to return to base.

In addition, a new focus mode feature was implemented to assist hunters in aiming and controlling for a more seamless monster hunting experience. As for new gear, the Hook Slinger has been introduced to retrieve items from a distance.
