Another big reveal has joined the wave of summer gaming festival announcements. Capcom has officially confirmed that its acclaimed action RPG Monster Hunter Wilds, known for its massive open world and deep ecosystem mechanics, is now in development for Nintendo Switch 2.
This announcement, coming right after the major summer showcase, has sparked huge excitement among Nintendo fans eager for a next-gen hunting experience on a handheld console.
Nintendo Switch 2 Version and Upcoming Roadmap

The Hunt Expands: Key Details Behind the Announcement
1. Home Console Quality in Your Hands
Monster Hunter Wilds skipped previous generation hardware due to its intense visual effects, dynamic weather cycles, and the sheer number of massive monsters on screen. The official announcement for Nintendo Switch 2 is a strong signal of the new hybrid console’s power and advanced graphics capabilities.
2. Perfect Timing Before the "Ascendance" Expansion
Just before this handheld reveal, Capcom announced the first major expansion, Monster Hunter Wilds: Ascendance, during the summer showcase. With a confirmed 2027 release, this expansion will take players to the new "Skybound Eyrie" region above the clouds. Launching the main game on Nintendo’s next-gen console ahead of this expansion is a smart strategic move.
3. More Content and Release Date Updates Coming Soon
Capcom has stated that more information about the Nintendo Switch 2 version’s release date and any graphical or technical differences (such as resolution or frame rate) compared to other platforms will be shared in future updates. Given the franchise’s deep roots with Nintendo, fans can expect a finely optimized portable experience on the way.
