Recent datamining indicates that Monster Hunter Wilds may be in development for the Nintendo Switch 2. Capcom, already a strong supporter of the platform with releases like Street Fighter 6 and Kunitsugami: Path of the Goddess, also seems likely to bring Monster Hunter Rise to the Switch 2. The company has confirmed versions of Resident Evil, Resident Evil Requiem, Pragmata, and the next Mega Man game for the console. Evidence for a potential Switch 2 edition of Monster Hunter Wilds comes from a recent game update that included a tutorial image for local multiplayer on the system, alongside an illustration of multiplayer action. This suggests the title is further along in development than Capcom has publicly stated. The updated files also reveal new details about the Nintendo Switch 2’s Game Share feature. In compatible games, the host of a local multiplayer session needs only one copy of the game for up to four players to participate. Interestingly, the same update removed an earlier text file detailing Nintendo Switch 2 features, leaving the reason for its removal unclear.

Additionally, sources suggest a graphics setting for the unannounced Switch 2 port that would allow it to run at 1080p resolution when docked, potentially exceeding the visual quality of the PC version’s lowest settings.
