New Open-World Survival Crafting Game on Steam is Basically Palworld's Take on Monster Hunter Stories 3

A newly announced Steam game is already drawing comparisons to Palworld, but it's more about how it innovatively combines that formula with Monster Hunter Stories-style anime aesthetics. Indeed, as is the case with many creature-collecting games, sometimes innovation isn't in introducing something new but in combining new specific niches in new ways. A Pokemon-inspired formula and design with survival and guns became Palworld, and Palworld's formula with monster bonding and more Monster Hunter-style anime results in Wild Wild Eden—an upcoming open-world creature-collecting survival-crafting anime game, if that's not too much of a mouthful, releasing on Steam in Q1 2027.
