In a recent update, the game “Monster Hunter Wilds” has been teasing new monsters in their Japanese advertisements on YouTube, fueling the anticipation among fans as the release date draws near. Moreover, the second open beta weekend is underway, further stirring up excitement for this upcoming title.

Indeed, the second open beta testing period is allowing gamers to play a larger part of the game than initially planned. Due to an unexpected PlayStation Network downtime lasting approximately a day starting on February 7, Capcom has decided to extend the “Monster Hunter Rise” second beta for a full extra day. As the launch date draws near, Capcom has been unveiling new trailers and advertisements for the game, one of which has unexpectedly revealed a returning enemy.

Potential Spoilers Ahead

Just yesterday, Capcom unveiled a couple of quick Japanese ads on their YouTube channel, fueling excitement for the upcoming game release. One of these ads subtly hinted at the return of an iconic Monster Hunter 2 beast, which had previously remained under wraps. Though Blangonga was hinted in a recent Monster Hunter Wilds leak, this is our first official confirmation that this beloved character will make a comeback – albeit briefly, flashing across the screen at the 19-second mark of the ad.

Fans Love the Surprise Monster Hunter Wilds Reveal

longtime enthusiasts might recall the baboon-esque creature from Monster Hunter 2, now advanced into current times. The character maintains its familiar appearance for longtime fans, and its appearance in the trailer has seemed to satisfy many within the Monster Hunter community. The majority of comments on the video were positive as fans look forward to facing this updated version of a classic monster. Some speculate if Blangonga was one of the factors that led Monster Hunter World to introduce its Power Clash system, where players receive a unique animation if they perfectly time blocking a monster’s attack.

Of course, the series is recognized for introducing fresh versions of monsters in each game, and Monster Hunter Wilds follows suit. This game boasts a multitude of beasts to battle, with novel characters like the octopus-like Nu Udra joining the fray, as well as beloved veterans such as Rathalos, Rathian, and Gore Magala. From these brief previews, it seems that Monster Hunter Wilds may hold a wealth of undisclosed content for players to discover upon its release later this month.
