Publisher Koei Tecmo and developer Omega Force released a playable demo for WILD HEARTS S on Switch.

Here’s a brief blurb on the demo, which is now on the eShop:

In the WILD HEARTS S demo, players can experience the first stages of the game from the prologue, up to “Minato”. Whether deciding to explore the lands of Azuma on their own or in a pack of four players, aspiring hunters will face off against fearsome nature-infused beasts such as the “Ragetail”, the “Sapscourge”, or the formidable “Kingtusk”, a giant boar with massive trunk-like teeth. Players will need to be resourceful as they craft and assemble various “Karakuri” (automaton) to shape the hunting ground accordingly and arm themselves with powerful weapons in order to destroy these massive monsters. Upon completing the demo, players will be able to carry over their save data to the full game to continue the hunt.

WILD HEARTS S is set to launch for Nintendo Switch 2 on July 25th.

The original Wild Hearts was released for Windows PC (via Steam), Xbox Series X|S, and PS5. Get our review here!
