Once the game arrives, we will update the two lists with all monsters, their item drops, and other relevant information. If past trends are to be believed, we will likely see different variants of monsters too in MH Wilds. Furthermore, looking through recent datamines and leaks, the community believes that Lagiacrus is sure to be a part of the upcoming game.

These are all the confirmed monsters at the time of writing that players will encounter during their time in Monster Hunter Wilds. It is likely that the new monsters will be linked with the game's mainline story, while some of the returning monsters might rather be found once you get into High Rank. Nevertheless, we cannot know for sure right now, and will have to wait for the game to release on February 28, 2025.
