A new CG trailer for upcoming monster-hunting game Wild Hearts just dropped ahead of the title’s February 16 launch date. The trailer highlights karakuri, an ancient technology used to hunt down the ferocious kemono.

While the trailer doesn’t show off any sort of gameplay, it does give players an idea of how fights may look in-game:

Here’s the official description of Wild Hearts from the video:

Kemono are giant beasts that have fused with their environment, as beautiful and as deadly as nature itself. For as long as the village of Minato has existed, our people have lived in fear of them: In dense forests they are ferocious as wildfire, and on the grasslands they are unstoppable as an incoming tide. Only through mastery of a mysterious ancient technology are we able to fight back.

WILD HEARTS is a unique twist on the hunting genre where ancient technology gives you a fighting chance against fearsome beasts infused with the ferocious power of nature itself. Take on these creatures alone or hunt with friends in seamless co-op.

Developed by Omega Force, the Japanese studio behind the DYNASTY WARRIORS franchise and in partnership with EA Originals, WILD HEARTS takes you on an epic adventure set in a fantasy world inspired by feudal Japan.

Using karakuri, players will be able to traverse around areas quickly, glide down ledges, and perform jumping attacks, which should add a neat little twist to the game. 

Wild Hearts will launch next week on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
