Monster Hunter Wilds: All Pre-Order Bonuses and Editions Revealed
With the release of *Monster Hunter Wilds* just around the corner on February 28, now's your final chance to secure those enticing pre-order bonuses. But is it worth the rush? Let's delve into the pre-order bonuses and the various editions available for *Monster Hunter Wilds* to help you make an informed decision.
Which Platforms Is Monster Hunter Wilds Available On?
*Monster Hunter Wilds*, the latest installment in Capcom's beloved beast-slaying series, is set to launch on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC. Unfortunately, it won't be available on Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, or PlayStation 4 due to their hardware limitations. There's speculation about a potential release on the Nintendo Switch 2, but as of now, Nintendo has not made any announcements.
In this new adventure, players will explore a largely open world, tackling a variety of monsters, from the massive Uth Duna to the iconic dragon-like Rathalos. Rathalos is a familiar foe, while Uth Duna presents an exciting new challenge.
Every Pre-Order Bonus For Monster Hunter Wilds
If you pre-order *Monster Hunter Wilds* before the February 28 deadline, you'll receive the following bonuses:
- Hunter Layered Armor Set: Guild Knight
- Talisman: Hope Charm
While Capcom hasn't detailed the exact effects of the Hope Charm, it's expected to offer a beneficial boost to your character, similar to previous games. Though it won't make you a game-breaking powerhouse, it could provide a strategic edge in crucial moments.

Collector’s Edition ($68)

This edition does not include the game itself, and if you're outside Japan, you'll need to factor in shipping costs, which can add around $30, making it nearly $100. Is the adorable Seikret plush worth it? That's for you to decide.
Ultra Collector’s Edition ($1,140)

This edition includes a Dahon K9X folding bike, shipped separately in April 2025. While the bike can be purchased separately for around $870 in Japan, this edition offers a unique package. However, Capcom’s Japan store doesn’t ship internationally, so you’ll need to find a way to get it shipped to you.
