Capcom Shares Monster Hunter Wilds Seikret Bird Mount Art

Capcom offered a closer look at the new Monster Hunter Wilds bird mount called a Seikret on social media. The new art highlights the creature’s plumage and also shows the packs and gear it will have equipped.

Like the Palamute in Monster Hunter Rise and its Sunbreak expansion, we’ll get to ride the Seikret in Monster Hunter Wilds to get around the world on missions. It is a bird, in the same way the Chocobo in the Final Fantasy series is. Hunters will ride on its back to get around, with Capcom noting that a player could have one “guide” them to locations when they are ridden.

The various bags on the Seikret also allude to some of the other actions connected to it. If we check in at the Monster Hunter Wilds bird mount, we will be able to change our weapon. While riding, we will also apparently be able to gather and use a whetstone or other items. The new Hook Slinger is one of the new gathering items that can be used while riding a Seikret. 

Here’s a closer look at the Monster Hunter Wilds Seikret:

Earlier in June 2024, Capcom also introduced two of the Monster Hunter Wilds NPCs who will help us on hunts. They are the new handler and blacksmith.

Monster Hunter Wilds will come to the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and PC via Steam in 2025.
