Hey hunters,

How’s the hunting? We hope you’re having a good time following our latest performance patch that dropped on January 28th! As a reminder, as part of our next update which adds Arch-tempered Arkveld and other content on February 18th, we’ll also be implementing additional optimisation improvements on all platforms.

In the meantime, the team would like to share with you some more behind the scenes concept art from the game’s development, which we’ve recently been showcasing on our official Monster Hunter social media accounts!

Gogmazios

The newest monster addition to the game, get a glimpse into the creative process of bringing this mighty Elder Dragon into Monster Hunter Wilds, after first appearing in Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate just over 10 years ago.

Jin Dahaad

Jin Dahaad is really cool, and so is this concept art that highlights some of the finer details on this mighty monster!

Guardian RathalosFrom concept to Construct, it’s Guardian Rathalos.

Seikret

In this concept art, you can take a look at the inner workings of your faithful mount and feathered friend, Seikret!

Doshaguma Sets

Lala Barina Sets

Get ensnared by the lethal grace of the concept art behind the Lala Barina armour sets!

Hirabami Sets

Here's a look at both versions of Hirabami armour! Flowing with grace and elegance, but ready to strike in an instant!

Palico Equipment

Check out these early designs for Rey Dau and Uth Duna Palico gear! You can even see the different ideas the team had when coming up with the purrrfect armour for your pal.

Seeing the Lala Barina and Balahara Palico concepts next to each other raises the question... How do you dress your Palico? Cute and fluffy, battle ready or chaotic energy? Let us know in the comments!

Gemma

Your Smithy and stalwart ally.

Fabius

The Ace Lancer has come a long way since his first appearance in Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate! This concept art depicts an older, wiser Fabius, who's clearly still more than ready to dive into the hunt when duty calls.

Kunafa

Kunafa, Windsong Village. Home for the people of the Windward Plains and their Seikret! In this concept art, we see how they make use of the natural environment to create a safe haven from the Sandtide and monsters alike!

Wudwud Hideout

Seeing this cosy concept art of the Wudwud Hideout just makes you want to go full Wudwudcore, right?

Oilwell BasinDeep within the emanating heat of the Oilwell Basin, the Black Flame slithers from its nest.

Iceshard Cliffs

Blangonga and its pack have been eagerly awaiting to give you a frosty reception in the Iceshard Cliffs, even since its initial concepts!

Jewel Scarab

The Jewel Scarab endemic life comes in various shapes, sizes and colours, as seen in their concept art. Not found them in-game yet? We hear they're rather fond of tree sap!

Sandstar

Here's a closer look at the Sandstar, a rare endemic life from the Windward Plains! If you want to catch it, you’ll have to go fast!

That wrap’s up today’s post, thanks for taking the time to check it out! We hope you enjoyed seeing more concept art behind the game’s development!

As always, thank you all for your continued feedback, support and passion.

We’ll see you in the hunt!
