About this game
The Nintendo Switch 2 edition of Capcom's hunting action RPG, which first launched on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S in February 2025. It ships with all post-launch title updates included and adds local wireless co-op, with cross-play across platforms.
Story & setting
The Forbidden Lands: a wild, unexplored region where storms reshape the land and monsters migrate in herds. A boy named Nata reaches the hunter's guild asking for help, sending an expedition deep into these lands to find his people and unravel the mystery of the white phantom Arkveld.
Gameplay
Hunt massive monsters across dynamic environments whose weather transforms mid-hunt, riding the Seikret mount to track, trap and carve. Fourteen weapon types span close and ranged combat, hunts can be tackled solo or with up to four players, and the Switch 2 version supports local wireless co-op plus cross-play with other platforms.
