Tentative Features

• Rathalos returns.
• The game appears to take place within a landmass known as the "Forbidden Land", specific locales include:
  • Windward Plains, a vast desert and savannah with strange spires that act as thunder rod.
  • Scarlet Forest, a towering forest with strange red flowers and silky webbing, sometimes the area becomes flooded.
  • Oilwell Basin, an underground locale filled with flammable oil and ancient furnaces, sometimes the oil catches on fire.
• Kunafa, a village home to the Seikret and the playable Hunter, known for its cheese making.
• Wudwud, a race of intelligent and friendly lynians that inhabit the Scarlet Forest.
• Focus Mode, a new gameplay mechanic that allows hunters to better aim their attacks to specific parts, intended to ease newcomers into the action.
• Riding on a Seikret, possibly a Bird Wyvern, which can glide and apparently carries extra supplies and one extra weapon.
• Power Clash, a cinematic mechanic allowing guarding weapons like Lance and Heavy Bowgun to parry against certain large monster attacks.
• New monsters, including:
  • Ceratonoth, a monster similar to a pangolin, with two variants, with the larger one seeming to act as a thunder rod.
  • Dalthydon, a monster similar to a Gastodon with a goat's face, they live in herds with their youngs.
  • Doshaguma, a large and aggressive fanged beast that appears to hunt in packs led by a larger individual with a red coloration.
  • Chatacabra, a large ape-like amphibian with a stretchy tongue and a sticky saliva that is used to affix rocks and stones to its muscular forearms to increase power.
  • Balahara, a leviathan that forms swarms and lives in the sand dunes.
  • Lala Barina, a Temnoceran with a deadly stinger and white fur that can shift to petal-like red fur, releasing paralyzing flower spores.
  • Rey Dau, a thunder-element flying wyvern and the apex of the Windward Plains.
  • Gajios (ガジオス), a small Leviathan, lives near water and hunts Dalthydon.
  • Baunos, a Wingdrake similar to Noios.
  • Bulaqchi (ブブラチカ), a medium-sized Neopteron or Temnoceran that resembles a mosquito.
  • Talioth (タリオス), a small raptor with a slender body and a long bill, they can be seen attacking a Doshaguma, possibly being social predators like Velociprey and Jaggi.
  • Arkveld, an extinct monster that resembles a flywing wyvern with giant chain-like appendages on its arms.
  • Ajarakan, a large and fiery fanged beast of extreme musculature.
  • Rompopolo, a brute wyvern with an inflatable back and a beak that mimics a mosquito's face.
  • Black Flame, a monster of unknown classification that resembles a giant octopus, it appears to be covered in oil and is the apex of the Oilwell Basin.
  • Mernos can be seen in one of the safe camps, but it hasn't been seen in the wild.
• New endemic life, including:
  • Windrustler and Black Windrustler, tiny bird wyverns that hide in the grass.
  • Nothpecker, a small bird that likes to perch on Ceratonoth.
  • Amstrigian and Hymstrigian, small birds that nest on trees.
  • In addition, insects and fish that were previously considered items are now endemic life, such as Bitterbug, Whetfish and Godbug.
• Changing environments, all locales have three distinct identities, one harsh and unforgiving (Fallow), another with rough weather (Inclemency), and another calm and brimming with life (Plenty).
  • This affects the wildlife and potentially the gatherable resources and difficulty of monsters.
• The Slinger returns, with the addition of the Hook Slinger, which is capable of grabbing resource nodes from afar.
• Hunters now remain in the map by default after a hunt, instead of being sent back to town.
• Support Hunters are available when using an SOS Flare, similar to Sunbreak’s Follower system.
