In an interview with Famitsu<\/a>, Monster Hunter Wilds<\/strong> art director and executive director Kaname Fujioka talked about secrets hidden in the game\u2019s logo art. Fujioka confirmed one thing players have been theorizing about ever since the game\u2019s announcement, but he also revealed that there\u2019s an additional story-related hidden meaning in Wilds\u2019 logo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The title logo art for Monster Hunter Wilds includes six dragons, and when asked about the meaning of the image, Fujioka commented, \u201cIt\u2019s the will of the developers, or perhaps I could even call it a kind of message.\u201d Confirming fans’ theories that the six dragons represent the sixth installment of the Monster Hunter series, he goes on to explain, \u201cWe want to encourage players to pick up the games and play them as stand-alone works, which is why we don\u2019t number them. However, if I\u2019m talking about our feelings as creators, we do prefer to think of it as the sixth installment to the series. That\u2019s why we included [the six dragons] in the logo.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Although it was merely showing the dev team\u2019s perception of the series, Fujioka says \u201cit would make us happy if players happened to take notice too.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, the director reveals that there\u2019s another secret meaning to the logo that has to do with Monster Hunter Wilds\u2019 storyline. Fujioka did not reveal what it is, commenting that he\u2019d like to see players figure it out on their own after playing the game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, he notes that it\u2019s something easy to miss, or rather, kind of abstract. \u201cMonster Hunter Wilds\u2019 story isn\u2019t very straightforward, and the setting and worldbuilding are very dense and detailed, so I expect there will be various theories.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
