Impressive Launch of Monster Hunter Wilds
Capcom's latest Monster Hunter installment shattered records just 30 minutes after its Steam release, boasting over 675,000 concurrent players and quickly surpassing 1 million. This marks not only the best launch in Monster Hunter history, but also Capcom's best-ever game launch. Monster Hunter: World (2018) previously held the record at 334,000 concurrent players, with Monster Hunter Rise (2022) trailing at 230,000. Despite this phenomenal success, the game's Steam release faced a wave of negative reviews citing technical issues, including bugs and frequent crashes.
Monster Hunter Wilds offers a self-contained storyline, perfect for newcomers to the series. Players explore the mysterious Forbidden Lands, encountering dangerous creatures and the legendary "White Ghost," a mythical beast. Enigmatic Guardians add layers of intrigue to the narrative.
While pre-release reviews were largely positive, some critics pointed to simplified gameplay mechanics, suggesting Capcom aimed for broader appeal. However, many players and reviewers lauded these changes, praising their success in enhancing accessibility without compromising depth or quality.
Monster Hunter Wilds is now available on PC and modern consoles (PS5, Xbox Series).
