Wild Hearts Release Date: The future action role-playing video game Wild Hearts was created by Omega Force and will be distributed by Electronic Arts under the EA Originals banner. The player’s objective in the fictional realm of Azuma, which was influenced by feudal Japan, is to hunt huge monsters.
On February 17, 2023, the game is scheduled to be made available for PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S.
Wild Hearts Release Date
Unexpectedly, Wild Hearts‘ initial announcement included a release date. The game debuts on February 17, 2023, which is unexpectedly soon.
According to an interview with IGN, Wild Hearts has been in production for four years, but it will only be roughly five months from announcement to release.
What Are The Wild Hearts Platforms?
Origin, Steam, and Epic Game Store will be the distribution channels for Wild Hearts on the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. It appears that Wild Hearts has only been designed as a next-generation game, therefore it is unlikely that it will ever be released on PS4 and Xbox One.
Due to this, Wild Hearts will also be released at the usual $69.99 pricing for PS5 and Series X games.
Wild Hearts Gameplay
The hunter that players take on must set out on missions to find the enormous beasts known as Kemono on the planet of Azuma. In Azuma, players can freely explore several sizable locations rather than an open world. There are eight distinct sorts of weapons in the game, including wagasa and katana.
Through the Karakuri mechanism, players can also create items to help in the battle in addition to using weapons to destroy their foes. For instance, players can construct torches that can be used to set enemies ablaze or boxes that they can jump off of to deliver massive damage to foes.
These components, however, can be merged to create bigger machines, like a bulwark that blocks an enemy’s passage. Up until Kemono destroyed them, the built artifacts were irreversible. To aid transversal, players can also build Karakuri.
Karakuri construction uses thread, which is obtained by simply fighting adversaries. A player can hunt increasingly difficult monsters as they advance in the game by unlocking new weapons and equipment.
The development team predicted that it would take players roughly 30 hours to finish the game’s narrative campaign. As they advance in the game, players can form teams with two other players.
Wild Hearts Story
The fantastical setting of Wild Hearts, known as Azuma, is greatly influenced by feudal Japan and is home to enormous animals known as Kemono. Here is the official summary from an EA press release.
“Wild Hearts takes place in Azuma, a fictional world modeled after feudal Japan, where the once-peaceful Kemono is now on the rampage and destroying the ecosystem at the expense of human lives. The Kemono include large Kingtusk wild boars and plant-infused squirrels.
The players are required to restore balance throughout the area after a terrible battle with the winter wolf Deathstalker, during which they are given the ability to bear life-sustaining technologies.
Tread lightly! You'll face plenty of Kemono when WILD HEARTS launches Feb. 17. 💥🦅 #PlayWildHearts

Although we don’t currently know much about Wild Hearts’ plot outside its introductory sequence, it’s realistic to assume that the game won’t be heavily focused on its narrative. Similar to Monster Hunter, Wild Hearts is a hunting game that prioritizes gameplay over anything else.
