Monster Hunter Wilds: Capcom Has No Endgame Raid Planned “Right Now”
[summaraize]
If you were hoping that Monster Hunter Wilds will feature endgame, raid-like activities called a Siege by the developers, you’ll sadly be disappointed by this news.
Don’t expect any raid-like activity to be in the game — at least at launch.
Capcom Explains Why Monster Hunter Wilds Won’t Launch With Siege Activities
In an interview with MP1st, we asked the developers if Monster Hunter Wilds will feature endgame raid-like quests. Aswering the questions were Producer Ryozo Tsujimoto and Director Yuya Tokuda (via a translator) who said, “Currently, for Monster Hunters Wild, the general gameplay is planned for four-player multiplayer. Like we had for Monster Hunter World, which was the Kulve Taroth, which was a 16-player raid, we don’t have something like that planned for endgame for Monster Hunter Wild right now.”
We followed up and asked whether there was a technical reason for it and what the reason for the decision was.
The devs explained, “So similar to Monster Hunter World, the raid quest wasn’t available in the game, it was added as an update after the game launched. Similar to Monster Hunter World, we want users in Monster Hunter Wilds to generally get used to the gameplay first and enjoy it, and then move on to the more challenging part, more enjoyable content after they finish. So in the game itself, when we launch it, we don’t have plans for raid quests. It’s similar to how we ran Monster Hunter World, it’s an intention that we didn’t add it, and it’s not a technical one.”
If you’re unfamiliar with a Siege, it’s a high-rank quest where 16 players must cooperate to damage and destroy parts of an insanely massive monster. In Monster Hunter World, it’s the only activity that requires all players in one instance to band together for one goal, which is easier said than done.
While MH Wilds won’t feature a Siege at launch, that doesn’t mean Capcom can’t add it later. For Monster Hunter World, the game didn’t receive a Siege until eight months after its release. If the devs see a demand for it, I wouldn’t be surprised to see an update add this in.
In the same interview, the devs explained that hitstops in the game’s final version will be closer to what series fans are accustomed to.
Stay tuned to our full interview with the developers hitting the site soon.
Monster Hunter Wilds will be released on February 28 for the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.

I hope MH Wilds gets Endgame Raid added at some point after release.
