The recent Play! Play! Play! event showcasing the upcoming Monster Hunter Wilds confirmed that Tempered and Frenzied Monsters will make a return. As part of the event helmed by PlayStation Japan, Capcom shared new live gameplay footage featuring a Tempered Rathian and a Frenzied Nerscylla.
The developers confirmed the inclusion of Tempered Monsters in Monster Hunter Wilds at around the 23:50 mark in the video, where they confirmed that the Rathian will be one of these monsters. These monsters will appear as endgame content, and they will provide unique drops to craft special weapons. The showcase also included a hunting mission taking place in this entry’s version of the Arena, where players fought the aforementioned Tempered Rathian at around the 33-minute mark.
Additionally, the livestream confirmed that the Frenzy Virus and Frenzied Monsters will return in Monster Hunter Wilds. As part of a second quest showcasing a hunting mission against a Blangonga, a Frenzied Nerscylla appeared at around the 51:55 mark. The return of Frenzy in Monster Hunter Wilds is fitting, as Capcom recently confirmed in a trailer that the original carrier of the Frenzy, Gore Magala, will appear in the game.
