In Monster Hunter Wilds, Every Weapon Has Its Own Unique Design - IGN First

Author : Gabriel Mar 05,2025

Monster Hunter Wilds addresses fan concerns about weapon design, promising unique aesthetics. Director Yuya Tokuda confirmed a departure from Monster Hunter: World's approach, where weapon designs largely shared a base model with variations based on monster materials. In Wilds, each weapon boasts a distinct, original design.

PlayThis directly contrasts with Monster Hunter: World, where even highly upgraded weapons sometimes retained significant visual similarities (as seen in the example below).
