Monster Hunter Wilds: A Phenomenal Success in 2025

Story, Immersion, and Crossplay Drive Monster Hunter Wilds' Popularity

Since its launch, Monster Hunter Wilds has achieved remarkable success, selling over 8 million units in just three days, making it Capcom's fastest-selling game to date. In a detailed interview with The Nikkei on March 10, Ryozo Tsujimoto, the producer of the Monster Hunter series, credits the game's success to its compelling narrative and exceptional voice acting. He also highlighted the significance of crossplay, which has enabled a more inclusive gaming experience across various consoles.

In another recent conversation with GamesRadar+, Tsujimoto emphasized the growing importance of the PC platform. He expressed Capcom's commitment to crossplay, stating, "We worked very hard to achieve that this time around. 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."

Despite the praise for the story from Tsujimoto, some fans have expressed mixed feelings. Discussions on Steam reveal that a segment of the player base found the story elements, such as the lengthy Seikrit rides and the dialogue, less engaging. However, many fans also recognize that the primary draw of Monster Hunter games is their gameplay, rather than their narrative.
