It&#8217;s the kind of announcement most players would have expected to see show up at a bigger summer showcase, or maybe even a Nintendo Direct, but instead, Capcom made its announcement with a simple two-sentence post on X\/Twitter.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">&#8220;Monster Hunter Wilds is currently in development for Nintendo Switch 2!&#8221; Capcom said. &#8220;We&#8217;ll have more info to share, including the release date, in the future.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-313219616\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"presentation\" class=\"progressive-image article-image article-image-full-size jsx-1809694635 jsx-2338608387\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/imdbnews.ir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/monster-hunter-wilds-confirmed-for-nintendo-switch-2.gif\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"><figcaption data-cy=\"caption\" class=\"caption jsx-1762799490 jsx-479945570 article-image-caption\">Monster Hunter Wilds is in development for Nintendo Switch 2. Image courtesy of Capcom.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Monster Hunter Wilds skipped out on Switch when it launched for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X | S in February 2025. It made sense considering that release date fell so late into the life cycle of the Nintendo&#8217;s original hybrid device but months before its sequel. Still, Nintendo consoles have been home to many Monster Hunter entries in the past, leaving fans to hope for a port for the last year.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">While a release date for Monster Hunter Wilds on Switch 2 has yet to be revealed, it looks that wait will soon come to an end. It&#8217;s unclear how this new version will differ from experiences currently offered on other platforms.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Capcom&#8217;s announcement arrived just after it took to Summer Game Fest 2026 to reveal Monster Hunter Wilds&#8217; latest expansion, Ascendance. A trailer for the new content (below) teased a new land and abilities to explore when it launches for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X | S at some point in 2027.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">IGN gave Monster Hunter Wilds an 8\/10 review upon its launch early last year.
