Wild Hearts S 1

Get ready to hunt giant beasts in a feudal Japan-inspired world in WILD HEARTS S. Craft new items and merge distinct Karakuri, allowing you to craft unique items like beast-piercing blades, shields, and traps. Hunters will get the ability to craft equipment and weapons like Nodachi, Bow, Karakuri Katana, and Bladed Wagasa that will help them hunt. Each weapon and equipment comes with unique stats. Giant beasts are lurking in the land of Azuma and offer a challenge to the players, equipped with blazing lava, raging blizzards, and miasma. Make sure to gather materials to craft powerful and effective weapons to eliminate every threat in your path.

Play the free demo of WILD HEARTS S on Nintendo Switch 2 to uncover the initial stages of the game. Hunters will come across formidable beasts like Ragetail, Sapscourge, and Kingtusk while exploring the lands of Azuma in solo or a team. Kingtusk has big, trunk-like teeth that can deal massive damage in combat. Carry your save data to the full game to continue the journey after completing the public demo. Players can utilize the Nintendo Switch 2 “GameChat” feature to communicate with fellow hunters.
