Capcom comments on lack of Switch version for Monster Hunter Wilds

The next Monster Hunter game, Monster Hunter Wilds, is in development, but it won’t be on Switch. Capcom recently commented on why that’s the case.

The company was asked about the situation during its most recent financial results briefing Q&A. Capcom gave the answer we often see from others – which is that the team is “utilizing the latest technology to its limit”, so Nintendo’s console wasn’t really considered an option.

Here’s the full response from Capcom?

One concept we’ve incorporated into this title is aiming to portray the maximum of the world of Monster Hunter by utilizing the latest technology to its limit. To that end, the platforms capable of realizing that concept are currently the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Going forward, we will provide more thorough details regarding these concepts and themes when we release information on the game. We hope you look forward to it.

While Monster Hunter Wilds won’t be on Switch, you’d have to think that Capcom is thinking about it for the system’s successor. Nintendo previously announced that it’s next platform will be revealed by March 2025, and it coming out next year seems very likely.
