Future Monster Hunters Could Potentially Bring Back The Wirebug
Considering how important the Wirebug was in Rise, Monster Hunter fans were a bit surprised to find out that it wasn’t making a comeback in Monster Hunter Wilds. While it’s a shame to see it vaulted, Wilds producer Ryozo Tsujimoto confirmed to TheGamer at a recent preview event that Capcom hasn’t ruled out bringing the Wire Bug and Clutch Claw back in future entries.
When asked about the Wire Bug and Clutch Claw, Tsujimoto said that when it comes to the mechanics of each Monster Hunter, the team focuses on what will fit the current title most at the time. In the case of Wirebugs, Monster Hunter Rise had a lot of low and high areas in its terrain, which made the introduction of the zipline-y bugs an obvious move.
So whether the functions that we have in past titles will make it into future titles, we obviously don’t know at this point. Maybe some will, maybe some won’t. We really can’t tell because it obviously depends on what is the best fit for each title. – Ryozo Tsujimoto

Tsujimoto goes on to say that Monster Hunter Wilds offers a different type of gameplay to Rise and introduces the Seikret, focus mode, and wounds. Each game in the series has a concept which influences what mechanics are introduced to it, which makes it hard to determine whether the Clutch Claw or Wirebug might return in the future. That being said, Tsujimoto can’t rule out that they might one day come back.
