A new game may be take some time to arrive, but Monster Hunter Wilds won't be the end of the franchise.
Monster Hunter Wilds may have been overshadowed by the games that followed it this year, but it just took home two awards from the PlayStation Partner Awards 2025 Japan Asia. While accepting his wins, the game's leading boss Ryozo Tsujimoto shared his conviction that Monster Hunter is still popular among players and he doesn't see any need for the franchise to stop.
"Of course, we don’t intend to stop the series here," Tsujimoto told IGN. "We plan to continue, and we want to let more people play. In addition, I would like to think about things beyond the games so that we can further expand the potential of the Monster Hunter IPs.'"
There was a live-action Monster Hunter movie in 2020 from director Paul W. S. Anderson and actress Milla Jovovich, the husband-and-wife team behind the first six Resident Evil films. However, Monster Hunter's dismal $47.9 million worldwide box office has seemingly killed any prospect of a sequel.
Tsujimoto didn't offer any specific updates regarding new Monster Hunter titles, but he reiterated that Monster Hunter Wilds will still be getting updates.
"Monster Hunter has the characteristics of a title that gets regular updates, but player opinions were very helpful during the update process," wrote Tsujimoto. "And in order to make Monster Hunter Wilds better, the fans’ voices gave us power. There are still updates left to come, so we will continue to do our best."
During an earnings call for investors in April, Capcom claimed that Monster Hunter Wild's sharp fall-off in sales be address after the first month may have been due to the high price of a PS5. Earlier this year, Capcom added a special collaboration between Final Fantasy 16 and Monster Hunter X , which introduced FF16 weapons, creatures and more into Monster Hunter.
