Ah, Zoh Shia—sounds like Capcom’s latest way to humble overconfident hunters while giving the masochists exactly what they crave. Can’t wait to see the inevitable wave of git gud memes and clutch victory clips flooding social media.

Zoh Shia sounds like a beast that’ll separate the casual hunters from the hardcore—love that Capcom isn’t afraid to crank up the heat. Though I bet the real endgame is the salt in the forums when players realize their gear isn’t cutting it.
