Capcom Confirms Monster Hunter Wilds Is in Development for Switch 2

The move signals Capcom will broaden its support for Nintendo’s next console by bringing flagship titles and large expansions to the platform.

Overview

  • Capcom announced on its official channels that Monster Hunter Wilds is currently in development for Nintendo Switch 2 and said it will share a release date and more details in the future.
  • The Switch 2 confirmation follows earlier public hints from a late‑2025 datamine that suggested a Nintendo version was planned.
  • Monster Hunter Wilds first launched this year on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC, and the Switch 2 build will be a port from those releases.
  • At Summer Game Fest Capcom also revealed a major Wilds expansion called Wilds: Ascendance with a release window next year and announced a Switch 2 port of Resident Evil Veronica.
  • For players, the announcement means Wilds could reach Nintendo’s handheld-oriented audience and extend the game’s lifespan, but technical, performance and release‑date specifics remain unknown until Capcom provides more information.
