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 rods.
- 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.
- The Ceratonoth, a monster similar to a pangolin, with two variants, with the larger one seeming to act as a thunder rod.
- A small new endemic bird that can be seen on top of some Ceratonoth.
- The Dalthydon, a monster similar to a Gastodon with a goat's face, they live in herds with their youngs.
- The Doshaguma, a large and aggressive fanged beast that appears to hunt in packs led by a larger individual with a red coloration.
- The 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.
- The Balahara, a leviathan that forms swarms and lives in the sand dunes.
- An unknown thunder flying wyvern, which appears to be among the strongest of the Windward Plains.
- A small crocodilian monster, possibly a Leviathan or Amphibian, could also be endemic life.
- A small new unknown raptor monster, with a slender body and a long bill, they can be seen attacking a Doshaguma, possibly being social predators like Velociprey and Jaggi.
- A small new endemic raptor that is seen around the above monster.
- Changing environments, all locales have two distinct identities, one calm and brimming with life, the other harsh and unforgiving.
- 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.
