The trailer begins with a showcase of two hunters being chased by a pack of Balahara, new Leviathan-type monsters that look like a sandworm inspired by the Dune franchise. These horrifying beasts can swim through deserts as if they were swimming through water and create quicksand pits to trap their prey and devour them.

Later on in the trailer, we catch a glimpse of a mysterious new Flying Wyvern-type monster that appears to have no face and has the ability to fire lightning bolts from its gigantic horns.
All throughout the trailer, the Hunter player character shows no fear and charges into the fray to defend their comrades from these beasts by wielding a massive Greatsword and Heavy Bowgun.
At long last, cross-play will finally come to Monster Hunter!
