Also, a special preview for the new products has been shared by Zoids’ official X (Twitter) account, highlighting the Monster Hunter X Zoids collaboration.
Both the Beast Liger and Sonic Bird appeared in Zoids’ sixth installment Zoids: Wild ZERO which followed the 2019 anime Zoids Wild. It was the long-awaited revival of the anime series of the franchise, and it reimagined the Zoids’ design.
Compared to previous entries, the Zoids of this series have a smaller scale, have more emphasis on the beast motif rather than its mech design, and the pilot sits on a special saddle near the head of the Zoids. Also, Zoids from this series are more sentient, highlighting that they are mechanical animals rather than pure machines.
Meanwhile, Monster Hunter is gearing up for its upcoming installment the Monster Hunter Wilds, revealed at last year’s TGA 2023. Further details will come at a later date.
