“WILD HEARTS opens up a vibrant fantasy world to players that’s
as untamed as it is beautiful,” said Yosuke Hayashi, Executive Vice
President of KOEI TECMO GAMES CO, LTD. “With WILD HEARTS, not only
did we want to showcase the evolution, infusion and real threat
caused by Kemono, but we also wanted to create a game where
crafting was at the core of the experience, redefining what can be
possible in a beast hunting game. We have placed great care in
designing our Karakuri to fit within the combat, and we’re excited
for players to use these powerful mechanisms to fight giant beasts
and traverse the world.”
“EA Originals is a label for those who dare to explore,” said
Stuart Lang, Vice President, Global Brand, Electronic Arts. “It’s a
home for studio partners - like Omega Force - forging new ways to
play from bold creative visions, and for players who love to
discover untold stories and unseen worlds. We are excited to follow
the wonderful and critically acclaimed It Takes Two, from Hazelight
Studios, with the ingenious mechanics, giant nature-infused beasts
and epic battles of WILD HEARTS, the first AAA hunting experience
for a new generation.”
WILD HEARTS takes place in Azuma, a fantasy landscape inspired
by feudal Japan, that is now rampaged by the once peaceful Kemono -
altering their environment at the cost of citizens’ lives. The
Kemono range from plant-infused squirrels to the massive Kingtusk
wild boar. After a dreadful fight with the winter wolf
Deathstalker, players become bearers of a life-sustaining
technology and are compelled to restore balance across the
region.
In WILD HEARTS, players journey through Azuma as a lone wolf or
pack-hunt with up to two friends thanks to the game’s co-op and
crossplay features across all platforms. Players can expand their
battle plans and go on special missions while pack hunting, join
other hunters in the world or take on Kemono on their own. The game
will feature voice overs in English, Japanese, French, Italian,
German and Spanish.
WILD HEARTS launches in retail and digital storefronts on
February 17, 2023 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC via
Origin, Steam and Epic Game Store for $69.99.

gameplay reveal on October 5, 2022.
