“This is the beginning of the collaboration between Monster Hunter Wilds and Monster Hunter Now, and we are planning to do more down the road,” said Niantic senior producer Sakae Osumi in a press briefing attended by Polygon, before later adding: “I would like to get more monsters from Wilds. We will work on it closely with Capcom.”

Eurogamer report that Capcom has launched a PC benchmarking tool for Monster Hunter Wilds, allowing players to test their systems ahead of the game's February 28 release.
