Five questions. Five owners.

No generic wiki maze. Each page owns one decision and marks the line between confirmed facts and launch-day unknowns.

The confirmed hunt loop

Prepare. Enter. Adapt. Survive. Keep what you secure.

Every guide on this site follows the game's real loop instead of forcing genre keywords into a template.

Pre-launch certainty ledger

What is settled—and what is not

Confirmed
  • September 1 release on the announced launch platforms
  • Solo or 2-player online co-op
  • Selectable difficulty with better rewards at higher levels
  • Purified gear carries into future hunts
  • Builds use gear, Weapon Arts, Boons and Angels—not classes
Still unknown
  • Final campaign length and a defined endgame structure
  • A full PS5 / Xbox / PC crossplay party matrix
  • Local split-screen and cross-progression
  • A traditional appearance-based character creator
  • Final tier multipliers, drop rates and exact life counts

“Unknown” means the checked first-party sources do not safely answer the question yet. It does not mean the feature can never exist.
