Monster Hunter Wilds: A 2025 Phenomenon
Story, Immersion, and Crossplay Fuel Wilds' Popularity
MH Wilds has achieved phenomenal success, surpassing 8 million units sold within just three days of its release, making it Capcom's fastest-selling title to date. In a March 10th interview with The Nikkei, series producer Ryozo Tsujimoto highlighted the game's captivating storyline and high-quality voice acting as key drivers of its popularity. He also emphasized the role of cross-platform play in connecting players across different consoles.
Last month, Tsujimoto underscored the importance of the PC platform and the significant effort invested in crossplay during an interview with GamesRadar+. He acknowledged the growing prominence of PC gaming in Japan and globally, stating, "We worked very hard to achieve that this time around," and further explaining, "That means the choice is yours on which platform you want to play with, and then you can just go online and hunt with your friends."
While Tsujimoto emphasizes the narrative, some fans hold differing opinions, expressing concerns about lengthy travel sequences and less engaging dialogue in online Steam discussions. However, many acknowledge that the core appeal of Monster Hunter lies in its gameplay, not necessarily its story.
