Monster Hunter's Farting Pink Ape Returns in Wilds

Monster Hunter fans, get ready for some exciting news! At the Tokyo Game Show 2024, Capcom revealed thrilling updates about the upcoming game, Monster Hunter Wilds. Among the highlights were the return of some fan-favorite monsters, including the notorious Congalala and the iconic Yian Kut-Ku. These creatures are making a comeback after a long absence, and fans couldn't be more thrilled. Let's dive into what makes these monsters special and what else you can expect from Monster Hunter Wilds.

Congalala: The Pink Prankster Returns

The Congalala, a quirky pink gorilla-like beast, is back! Known for its gas attacks and mushroom antics, this monster first appeared in Monster Hunter Freedom 2. During the Tokyo Game Show, developers confirmed its return, delighting fans who've been waiting for this moment.

In Monster Hunter Wilds, Congalala will introduce a new item called "Truffle de Conga," which you can steal and use in your own cooking adventures. But beware of its powerful stench attack, which can prevent you from consuming health potions. Thankfully, the game offers a recovery option in the radial menu, making it easier to access the items you need quickly.

The Return of Yian Kut-Ku

Another beloved monster making a comeback is Yian Kut-Ku. This pink, bird-like creature was the first flying monster hunters faced in the original Monster Hunter on PS2. Known for its fiery attacks, Yian Kut-Ku is a nostalgic favorite among fans.

Kaname Fujioka, the executive director of Monster Hunter Wilds, explained that Yian Kut-Ku was chosen for its popularity and the fun it brings to the game. In Wilds, you'll see it in the new horde system, where large monsters can appear in groups for the first time.

Customization and More Surprises

During the gameplay showcase, we also saw customizable Seikrets, the mounts in Monster Hunter Wilds. You can personalize their colors, adding a unique touch to your hunting experience. While details are still scarce, this feature promises to enhance the game's visual appeal.

In addition to these monster reveals, the game will feature a more complex fishing system, allowing hunters to reel in big catches. Plus, exciting collaborations are on the horizon for Monster Hunter's 20th anniversary, including special items and crossovers with Transformers and Digimon.

Release Date and Platform Availability

Mark your calendars! Monster Hunter Wilds is set to launch on February 18, 2025, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. The recent State of Play trailer provided even more insights into the game's features and its flagship monster.
