In addition to GTA 6, the most important game in 2025 is Monster Hunter Wilds. The styles of these two games are very different, but they both have huge fan bases. Unlike GTA 6, which has been released for many years, Monster Hunter has a very fast speed of releasing sequels, basically one sequel every two to three years. Monster Hunter’s previous work Monster Hunter Rise was released in 2022, and three years later, this new work has become the most anticipated object of fans.

Many people have regarded GTA 6 as the game of the year in 2025, but Monster Hunter Wilds may become its rival.

Who Will Be The Winner In 2025? - Monster Hunter Wilds Or GTA 6

History Of The Two Games

Monster Hunter Series

Monster Hunter series was first released by Capcom on PS 2 in 2004, and later maintained a very fast development speed, releasing a total of 30 works including the main work, spin-offs and DLC. These 30 works were released on various platforms, and Monster Hunter Wilds, which will be released in 2025, will be the 31st work.

The gameplay of the series is mainly for players to fight monsters in the game as hunters. Players can take materials from defeated monsters and use them to build weapons and armor. The characteristic of Monster Hunter series is that new monsters appear in each generation, so each generation of players can create new equipment.

The player is set as a pioneer who comes to a new continent. As the player explores the continent, they will eventually encounter the most powerful monsters. Monster Hunter series can fight monsters together with other players. Compared with the rich combat system, the story of Monster Hunter series has a weaker presence.

GTA Series

GTA series first appeared in 1997, with a total of 11 independent works and 4 DLCs. GTA series usually imitate fictional locations in various cities in the United States. The gameplay mainly focuses on the open world setting. Players can freely decide the time and method of the mission to advance the story plot. In addition, there are many additional missions to choose from.

The game combines elements such as action adventure, driving, and third-person shooting, and also includes role-playing, stealth and racing. The theme of the work is mostly a mockery of American culture, but the adult and violent content in the game has also caused a lot of controversy. Many protagonists in the series attempt to enhance their prestige in the underground criminal world, but their motivations are different in each game. The villain is usually someone who betrays the protagonist or the organization, or someone who prevents the protagonist from achieving his goal.

Monster Hunter Wilds

Although Monster Hunter Wilds has not yet been launched, the information released by Capcom has already whetted the appetite of players. Although there are no new weapons in Monster Hunter Wilds, this game will greatly update the ecosystem, and players will have to face groups of animals.

The map of Monster Hunter Wilds is very vast. Players can directly build a temporary camp on the map to rest, but be careful that the monsters in the map may destroy your temporary camp while you are cooking.

Monster Hunter Wilds also introduces climate changes. The climate of each map will not remain unchanged. It is possible that the sky was clear in the last moment, and there will be lightning and thunder in the next moment. At the same time, some monsters will only appear in special climates.

Monster Hunter Wilds is called the sequel to Monster Hunter World because the two games use the same game engine. But players can obviously see that the graphics of Monster Hunter Wilds are more exquisite than Monster Hunter World, and the monsters in the game look more real than Monster Hunter World. But the price of doing this is that Monster Hunter Wilds now has higher requirements for players’ equipment.

Monster Hunter Wilds released a public test at the end of 2024, which was not only to test the actual performance of the game but also to show players part of the game content. However, the performance of that test was not very good. The monsters in many players’ computers turned into polygons, and NPC models also crashed. From the test, it can be said that the optimization of Monster Hunter Wilds is almost catastrophic.

GTA 6

So far, there are only some leaks and speculations from various players about GTA 6. We still don’t know what new changes GTA 6 will have compared to GTA 5, nor do we know how GTA 6 is optimized. I hope that the optimization on PC can be better. After all, not every player has a 40 series graphics card.

The story of GTA 6 takes place in Miami, which is also the place where Grand Theft Auto Vice City takes place. Maybe players can meet Tommy Vercetti from Grand Theft Auto Vice City as an Easter egg in GTA 6.

Not only players but also many game media are looking forward to Monster Hunter Wilds. Part of the reason may be that the release date of Monster Hunter Wilds is approaching. However, the catastrophic optimization of Monster Hunter Wilds is still vivid, which makes players a little worried. After sending out new trailers, Monster Hunter Wilds also announced that it would open two more tests from February 6 to 9 and from February 13 to 16. Monster Hunter Wilds will be officially released at the end of February 2025. Which work are you looking forward to more?
