New leaks indicate Monster Hunter Wilds on Switch 2 will support local multiplayer

As part of the latest update for Monster Hunter Wilds, dataminers discovered code relating to a potential Nintendo Switch 2 version being in the works currently. While neither Capcom nor Nintendo have officially commented on the matter, further datamining has uncovered even more details pertaining to a Switch 2 release for MH: Wilds.

Following on from yesterday’s leak which indicated that Capcom is working on a Switch 2 version of Monster Hunter Wilds, dataminers have now uncovered further evidence of its existence, including some of the compromises being made for the port.

According to the latest infodump, the Switch 2 version of Monster Hunter Wilds will feature its own bespoke DLSS preset similar to that of other Nintendo Switch 2 releases.

Though of course subject to change, the port also appears to cull its NPCs at a much more aggressive rate when compared to other versions.

That said, by far the most interesting revelation is the fact that MH: Wilds on the Switch 2 looks set to support local multiplayer. It’s worth noting that this does not mean split-screen multiplayer, but using two Switches on a local network.

Still, it will be interesting to see whether these cutbacks are enough to get the game running competently on the Switch 2. We will have to wait for an official announcement to find out.
