Monster Hunter Wilds prologue demo debuts today for Nintendo Switch 2
Capcom has scheduled the Monster Hunter Wilds prologue demo for release later today, via the Nintendo eShop. The offline-content demo includes the game's start, character creation, and Chapter 1-3: “To the Forest.”

Progress in this opening segment set in the Forbidden Lands can be carried over to the full release, following the December 4th launch of the action-role playing game for Nintendo Switch 2. Built in RE Engine, the free demo previously launched for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Windows PCs, verified for use with the Steam Deck.

Monster Hunter Wilds Original Soundtrack placed third in the 2025 PlayStation Game Music Awards, with two tracks by Akiyuki Morimoto featured on the curated Spotify playlist. Music for the action role-playing game is by multiple artists, including Mana Ogura, Marika Suzuki, Tadayoshi Makino, and Brian D'Oliveira.

Capcom's record label Suleputer published the Original Soundtrack in Japan. The album ships on seven compact discs from distributors CDJapan and Playasia, while the digital edition is hosted on Steam. Streaming is available on Spotify and other major streaming platforms.
