About
Hunting. Automaton. Beasts.
Hunt down giant beasts through a fantasy world inspired by feudal Japan. Craft a wide variety of “Karakuri” (Automaton) to assist in hunting and skillfully wield uniquely crafted weapons to cut these creatures down to size.
Now supports up to four players on the Nintendo Switch 2 system! Enjoy hunting in various styles.
- Key Features
Giant Nature-Infused Beasts – Fearsome beasts are infused with the ferocious power of nature. They are as beautiful and terrifying as nature itself. As a hunter, you may sometimes need to join forces with teammates to stand against their overwhelming power.
- Craft With Karakuri to Alter Hunting Grounds – Craft various Automaton “Karakuri” to use while hunting beasts, such as beast-piercing blades, protective shields, and traps to stop movement. Even between hunts, “Karakuri” are useful when searching for beasts, healing wounds, flying in the sky, and more. Craft your ideal hunting grounds to maneuver freely.
- Diverse Combat Styles – Materials collected will transform into new weapons and armor, guiding the player on their journey to hunt even more powerful beasts. Use a variety of equipment to hunt your prey.
- Four Seasons-Based Hunting Grounds – No one remembers why the Kemono began their rampage through a once-prosperous Azuma. Fueled by desperation, they wield the power of primal nature at its most destructive. Fierce battles unfold across the beautiful scenery that changes with the four seasons.
WILD HEARTS S is due out for Switch 2 on June 5.
