In WILD HEARTS S, players must master an ancient technology called “Karakuri” (automaton) to hunt giant beasts across a fantasy world inspired by feudal Japan. Aspiring hunters will be able to craft and combine a wide variety of “Karakuri” to create a wide range of items, such as beast-piercing blades, shields or traps. To help them in their hunt, fans will also be able to craft equipment and weapons, from common weapons, such as “Nodachi” and “Bow”, to the more unique “Karakuri Katana” and “Bladed Wagasa”, each with its own characteristics. Whether wielding blazing lava, raging blizzards or miasma, the giant, nature-infused beasts roaming the land of Azuma will pose serious challenges for players who will need to use the materials gathered from their hunts to craft new, more powerful weapons if they are to stand any chance of survival.
A free demo is available on Nintendo Switch™ 2, allowing users to discover the first stages of the game, from the prologue up to “Minato”, Whether they decide to explore the lands of Azuma on their own or in a pack of four players, aspiring hunters will face off against fearsome nature-infused beasts such as the “Ragetail”, the “Sapscourge”, or the formidable “Kingtusk”, a giant boar with massive trunk-like teeth. Upon completing the public demo, players will be able to carry over their save data to the full game to continue the hunt. If hunting with friends, players can make use of the Nintendo Switch™ 2 exclusive “GameChat” feature to communicate as they play online*.
WILD HEARTS S is now available exclusively on Nintendo Switch™ 2, in physical** and digital versions. The game features voices in Japanese, English, French, Italian, German and Spanish, with texts in English, French, Italian, German, Spanish and Polish.
