All Pre-Order bonuses in Wild Hearts revealed

Wild Hearts is an upcoming action role-playing title from developers Omega Force and publishers Electronic Arts. Players take control of an unnamed hunter in the world of Azuma as they face off and hunt monsters known as the Kemono in a gorgeous game world inspired by Feudal Japan.

The title also supports cross-play and multiplayer sessions, as well as the addition of the unique "Karakuri" mechanic, which allows players to build items to assist them in combat alongside their arsenal of weapons.

This EA Originals title is scheduled for February 17, 2023, release across multiple platforms, with pre-orders being live while writing this article. Read on to learn more about these bonuses in detail.

• The "Ferocious Kemono" emote
• "Poker Face" chat stamp
• "Just Woke Up" chat stamp

When and where can gamers play Wild Hearts?

Eager players can gain full access to the game on its official launch on February 17, 2023, worldwide on all supported platforms - the PC, Xbox Series X/S, and PlayStation 5. Additionally, EA Play and EA Play Pro subscribers can play the game three days before its official launch. This includes Game Pass Ultimate subscribers as well.

However, it is to be kept in mind that this early access is somewhat limited in its playability, with the game being explorable only up to the gates of Minato starting February 13 to its official launch on February 17, when it will be fully unlocked.
