The latest gameplay trailer for “Monster Hunter: Wilds” was unveiled during the State of Play event, with the game set for a 2025 release. The trailer highlights the game’s dynamic world, which constantly changes with the weather, creating a challenging ecosystem for the various creatures that inhabit it. Humans, too, have adapted to this environment, developing cultures and ways of life within this ever-changing wilderness.
The duality of the wilderness presents both a harsh realm where monsters fiercely battle for survival and a vibrant, life-filled environment. The changing landscape and the adaptation of the creatures and monsters living in it promise a variety of surprises and discoveries.
The initial area explored by the research team is the vast Sand Plains, which is not just a desert but also features grasslands and rocky areas. The trailer introduces a new terrain, the Chasm Sand Plains, along with new monsters such as the Pibi Beast and the Entwining Frog.
Additionally, the trailer revealed a new mountable creature, the Egret Dragon. Known for its proud agility, this mount aids hunters in mobility by automatically transporting them to designated locations based on scent. Hunters can also use certain items and launchers while mounted, preparing them for hunting activities like restoring health and sharpness or gathering resources.
The Egret Dragon not only assists in mobility but is also equipped with a “Weapon Pack,” allowing hunters to store a second weapon of choice, providing flexibility to switch weapons during a hunt.
The Israeli military continues its operations in Rafah, in the southern Gaza Strip, leading to increasing civilian casualties from airstrikes and other actions. The UN agency has reported that over 1 million people have been forced to flee Rafah in the past three weeks.
While the Israeli military continues its operations in Rafah, local authorities in Gaza have announced that on the 28th, the Israeli military attacked areas where many residents had taken refuge, resulting in the deaths of 21 people.
The Israeli military later issued a statement claiming that “no attacks were carried out on humanitarian areas.” However, with the reported deaths of 45 people, including women and children, from airstrikes on Rafah on May 26, international condemnation is intensifying.
In this context, the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) stated in a press conference on the 28th that “over 1 million people have fled Rafah in the past three weeks.” The agency highlighted the forced evacuations and urgently called for a ceasefire.
Meanwhile, regarding the humanitarian situation in Gaza, the US Department of Defense announced on the 28th that a portion of a floating pier, set up by the US military to deliver humanitarian aid by sea, was damaged due to bad weather, leading to a suspension of aid deliveries.
The delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza has been disrupted since the ground operations in Rafah began, with checkpoints closed and other obstructions. The suspension of deliveries via the floating pier raises further concerns about the deteriorating humanitarian situation in the region.

News has arrived that the popular toy “Furby,” first released in the late 1990s, is making a comeback. The new release is the first in 12 years, and despite it being 26 years since Furby first arrived in Japan in 1999, “Furby activities” are still thriving domestically. The new Furby is also selling out quickly abroad, causing a sudden Furby craze in the Reiwa era.
Furby first landed in Japan in 1999. It became a talking pet that people could talk to, stroke, and play with, gaining significant attention. In the first three years, it sold about 40 million units worldwide. In 2005, Furby 2 was released with a sleepier expression than the original and an enhanced “pseudo-conversation” feature that responded when spoken to. In 2012, Furby 3 was launched domestically, featuring LCD eyes that added more expressiveness. However, Furby remained silent for the next 12 years.
Yet, even 26 years after its debut and 12 years after the last release in 2012, Furby has quietly maintained its popularity. On Instagram, the hashtag “#Furby” has over 42,000 hits, showcasing Furbies captured in travel scenes and meals, dressed in original outfits, and even featured in fan art mimicking famous paintings. Additionally, tags like “#全ファ連リペア部” (“All Furby Repair Club”), “#全日本ファービー連盟” (“All Japan Furby Federation”), and “#全ファ連” (“All Furby Federation”) have emerged on Twitter (now X). Around 2021, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Furby enthusiasts initiated efforts to “rescue” Furbies in poor condition being sold at secondhand shops by sharing repair methods.

How is the Reiwa-era Furby different from the old models?
The Furby making a comeback this time not only speaks over 600 types of songs and words but also sings and dances. It features a sleep mode that lets out breathing and snoring sounds when laid on its back. Furthermore, the model released in Japan supports the Japanese language. Already released in August last year in Western countries, it has been selling out in various countries, not just the U.S., sparking a renewed Furby boom worldwide.
One notable difference in the new Furby compared to the old models is its significantly different facial design. Some users have commented that “the old ones were cuter.”
Will the Furby, reborn after 12 years, surpass the popularity of the old models? Expectations are high for its future developments.
