One of the smaller but still significant features to return in Monster Hunter Wilds is the ability to swim underwater. Though it has existed in previous games and underwater combat was included in Monster Hunter 3 and 3 Ultimate, water sections have largely been MIA for the last several installments due to the polarizing reception to them in the past. Though Wilds doesn’t have underwater combat, the team seems to be testing the waters (so to speak) by implementing underwater areas again at all, which has some fans hoping that DLC may eventually bring the full feature back.
