What to expect from the Monster Hunter 20th Anniversary Special Program?

The 20th Anniversary event would’ve been the perfect platform for Capcom to showcase a brand new trailer or a gameplay deep-dive of the next mainline Monster Hunter title, Monster Hunter Wilds. The game was first announced back during the Game Awards 2023, and since then the Japanese publisher has been relatively coy about revealing any details about it.

Unfortunately, Capcom has already confirmed that the upcoming digital event won’t feature any announcements or updates on Monster Hunter Wilds. This is certainly a bit disheartening for fans, but it also makes sense, considering Monster Hunter Wilds is still almost a year away from release.

Apart from Monster Hunter Wilds, there are bound to be updates on Monster Hunter Now and its first season, The Vernal Invade, starting on March 14, 2024. The new season brings the ability to use the iconic Charge Blade for hunts against Odogaron, Tzitzi-Ya-Ku, and Deviljho.

Lastly, another major Monster Hunter title that's bound to make an appearance during the 20th Anniversary event is Monster Hunter Stories Remaster, which was very recently announced during the Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase.
