Monster Hunter Wilds is bidding farewell to its iconic in-game language voice option. The game’s executive director, Kaname Fujioka, announced this decision, explaining that the team is shifting focus towards real human languages for a more immersive storytelling experience.

“From the perspective of immersing the player into that experience, the actual dialogue is in human languages across various localized versions.”

Fujioka reassured fans that while the custom language won’t be a primary feature, echoes of it will still linger throughout the game. Players can expect a blend of new storytelling while still catching snippets of the beloved Monster Hunter Language, albeit not as prominently as before.

This shift opens up an intriguing narrative path for players accustomed to the series’ quirky language, which comprised an array of grunts and phrases. While some may feel nostalgic about losing that aspect, Fujioka believes that it enhances the overall gaming experience.

In summary, Monster Hunter Wilds may be advancing into a new phase, but the spirit of the original Monster Hunter universe remains intact.
