Monster Hunter Wilds Datamine Reveals Unannounced Monsters

Key insights

  • Data has been evaluated for the ongoing Monster Hunters Wilds open beta test that may reveal several unannounced returning monsters.

  • The IDs of four monsters were found in the code of the test, including Gravios, Nerscylla, Gypceros and Gore Magala.

  • Apparently story details about certain unannounced monsters have also been leaked, so you may need to be a little more vigilant online if you want to stay untouched.

Monster Hunter Wilds is currently in open beta testing, allowing players to get a feel for the game, create their characters, and see what horrific beasts are out there waiting to be nibbled on by unsuspecting warriors. Of course, this open beta test doesn't cover the entire game and there are plenty of unannounced areas and monsters to be revealed, but the dataminers seem to have gotten ahead of Capcom.

Earlier today, a huge text dump from the Monster Hunter Wilds open beta was shared online by dataminers, apparently revealing the IDs of several returning monsters that are currently unannounced. As Reddit user Hte_D0ngening2 explains on the GamingLeaksAndRumors subreddit, the series has used the same IDs for monsters throughout the series, allowing dataminers to figure out exactly which monsters that have spent a reasonable amount of time on the sidelines will make a comeback.

If you want to enter Monster Hunter Wilds with as little information about the game as possible, now is the time to get out.

In total, four unannounced returning monsters were revealed in this data mine, three of which have not been seen since Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate. These are the Gravios and Gypceros (monsters that have been in the series since the first game), as well as the Nerscylla, which were introduced to the series in Monster Hunter 4.

Monster Hunter Wilds Datamine Reveals Unannounced Monsters and Story Details

The final unannounced returning monster in Monster Hunter Wilds is Gore Magala, who was also introduced in Monster Hunter 4 but was recently included in Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak, released in 2022. It's worth noting that this is not a complete list of every returning monster that hasn't been announced yet. So if your favorite monster isn't there, there's still a chance it will appear in the main game.

Many more details about Monster Hunter Wilds also seem to have leaked in the last few days, including certain story details. So if you want to give away as little information as possible, you should stay vigilant when scrolling through social media. There's still a lot of time until the game's release next February, so we should get a few more hints and more details from Capcom in the coming months. I'm keeping my fingers crossed my boy Gammoth makes it.

Monster Hunter Wilds introduces a dynamic, living world with changing climates, along with the usual variety of giant monsters, weapons and characters. A new mount, the Seikret, lets you move around faster and easier.
