Wild Hearts seems to have a pleasant amount of verticality to it, and I should note that the personal helicopter can be used to get around its world as well as during combat. That reverse zipline thing would be amazing for getting to the shops quickly on a weekend too. The scale of the pig is genuinely massive, so having the ability to jump up high and use Karakuri platforms to boost your character above Kemono is useful.
EA and Koei Tecmoannouncedthey were working together on a new monster-hunting game at the start of last month,revealedas Wild Hearts last week. The game’s an EA Original, which is a title previously reserved for indie games from smaller studios than its creators Omega Force. They’re known for the similarly fantasy, monster-hunting Toukiden games, as well as their Musou seriesDynasty Warriors. From what both companies have said, it very much sounds like this is a deal to publish Wild Hearts outside of Japan, which doesn’t seem in keeping with what EA Originals were set up for.
Wild Hearts whirs its little wooden helicopter ontoSteam, Origin and theEpic Games Storeon February 17th 2023, and should cost $70 (UK pricing TBC).
