As Wild Hearts game director Kotaro Hirata told IGN, Omega Force decided to create a new IP to make the game “appeal to a more global audience than the Toukiden series.” So the studio had some experience in this genre, wishing this time to bring several innovations into it. It was followed by the sequel, Toukiden 2, which received good reviews and featured some interesting mechanics, but still remained in the shadow of the Monster Hunter series due to a more arcade-like gameplay. In 2013, Omega Force released Toukiden: The Age of Demons, a monster hunting game for PS Portable and PS Vita. Is this Omega Force’s first foray into the Monster Hunter genre? However, the launch was marred by technical issues, resulting in a generally negative reaction from players.

Wild Hearts received positive reviews from critics and peaked at 20,661 concurrent players on Steam.In this mission, Omega Force partnered with EA Originals and marketed the game as a $70 AAA experience.With Wild Hearts, the Japanese studio wanted to reach a global audience and “ build another pillar ” franchise like Dynasty Warriors.


Developed by Koei Tecmo’s subsidiary Omega Force, the game offers its own spin on the Monster Hunter genre popularized by Capcom’s franchise of the same name.After more than four years in production, Wild Hearts came out on February 16 on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
