“WILD HEARTS opens up a vibrant fantasy world to players that’s as untamed as it is beautiful,” said Yosuke Hayashi, Executive Vice President of KOEI TECMO GAMES CO, LTD. “With WILD HEARTS, not only did we want to showcase the evolution, infusion and real threat caused by Kemono, but we also wanted to create a game where crafting was at the core of the experience, redefining what can be possible in a beast hunting game. We have placed great care in designing our Karakuri to fit within the combat, and we’re excited for players to use these powerful mechanisms to fight giant beasts and traverse the world.”
The game has players take part in an epic adventure that is set in a fantasy version of feudal Japan, where beasts called Kemono, each having been infused with nature, roam the lands. The Kemono range from plant-infused squirrels to the massive Kingtusk wild boar.
With the help of sophisticated mechanisms called Karakuri, players will have to hunt down these beasts.

We are excited to follow the wonderful and critically acclaimed It Takes Two, from Hazelight Studios, with the ingenious mechanics, giant nature-infused beasts and epic battles of WILD HEARTS, the first AAA hunting experience for a new generation.”
The game can be played solo or with two friends, meaning three in total with co-op and the best part, it will support crossplay on all platforms.
Players can expand their battle plans and go on special missions while pack hunting, join other hunters in the world or take on Kemono on their own
