#WildHeartsS　Bulwark Stack many crates together and, in a flash, the hunter has a sturdy defensive wall to repel kemono attacks and throw kemono off balance. The structure is easy to climb, too. #NintendoSwitch2

#WildHeartsS Healing Vaporizer Flooding the air with a mist of curative water, this karakuri can heal wounds and neutralize toxins, though it only has enough volume to cure a single ailment. #NintendoSwitch2

Starting today, the staff of "WILD HEARTS S" will begin posting commentary! Discover various background stories about beasts, weapons, and karakuris 🐺 Be sure to check it out ahead of the release on Friday, July 25th! #WildHeartsS

The Hunting × Crafting concept emerged through repeated experimentation. A prototype featured a system where shooting a special arrow created a large tree, opening new possibilities by letting player-made creations remain in the game world. （by producer Hirata） #WildHeartsS

The "Karakuri" crafting system was inspired by a desire for a Japanese feel, animated crafts, and clear functional changes through combinations. The completion of the "Fusion Karakuri" system gave us a strong sense of achievement. （by producer Hirata） #WildHeartsS

Targets in hunting action are vital. We designed them as "beasts" fused with nature, combining familiar elements of animals and the natural world to create distinctive and convincing creatures that enhance the game's appeal. （by producer Hirata） #WildHeartsS

To create a realistic world, we introduced only one fictional element: the "Celestial Thread." The "Karakuri" uses the energy from this thread, enabling it to exhibit powerful abilities within the game's setting. （by producer Edagawa） #WildHeartsS

Celestial Thread is a world-circulating energy absorbed by beasts. When a beast dies, Eternity Ringlets collect the energy and transport it to a sacred mountain, where it’s redistributed across Azuma via rivers. （by producer Edagawa） #WildHeartsS

Celestial threads gathered at the sacred mountain by Eternity Ringlets are circulated across Azuma via rivers. Over time, these threads accumulate as sediment, causing the ringlets to breed excessively, （by producer Edagawa） #WildHeartsS

In this world, heavy rains wash away sediment and reset civilizations repeatedly. This video was created during development to visualize the cycle of celestial threads through butterflies. （by producer Edagawa） #WildHeartsS

#WildHeartsS Weapons The art of equipment crafting has evolved throughout the history of hunters. Each 8 weapons features unique characteristics. By utilizing materials from the hunts to craft new equipment, hunters can persist in their pursuit of beasts. #NintendoSwitch2

#WildHeartsS Karakuri Katana A weapon that's well balanced and easy to handle, offering a bountiful variety of offensive moves. It features excellent karakuri-based attack characteristics. #NintendoSwitch2

"Karakuri Katana" is a user-friendly, traditional-style weapon with unique game-specific gimmicks. Designed to stand out against beasts, it features carefully crafted, stylish motions since it’s a weapon all players will experience. （by producer Hirata） #WildHeartsS

#WildHeartsS Nodachi A weapon that deals huge damage while remaining easy to handle. Accumulating energy or making use of karakuri can alter the styles of Iai attacks. Learning appropriate use of the various stances to land powerful Iai blows is vital. #NintendoSwitch2

"Nodachi" is the first weapon during the development "WILD HEARTS." It emphasizes realistic weight and a satisfying attack feel. Designed as a giant sword for Iai style moves, it features detailed design and unique mechanics. （by producer Hirata） #WildHeartsS

#WildHeartsS Bow A long-range weapon that offers great maneuverability. Switch between two stances, one to stick into kemono and one to deal additional damage. And by strengthening your bow, you can fire deadly high-power arrows. #NintendoSwitch2

"Bow" is designed for advanced players, offering versatile combat options. It features a gimmick where certain attacks extend the bow's length, increasing tension and attack power. Ideal for players prefer to dominate beasts from a distance. -Producer Hirata #WildHeartsS

#WildHeartsS Hand Cannon A weapon whose operation is largely controlled by two gauges: the charge gauge and the heat gauge. Keep a close eye on the gauges to unleash a special shot at maximum firepower. #NintendoSwitch2

"Hand Cannon" emphasizes resource management. By placing the base, it absorbs celestial thread energy from underground . Its simple operation makes it suitable for players prefer ranged combat or are less experienced with action. -Producer Hirata #WildHeartsS
