Monster Hunter Wilds Remains a 2025 Phenomenon

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

Surpassing 8 million units sold within just three days of its release, MH Wilds has become Capcom's fastest-selling title ever. In a March 10th interview with The Nikkei, Monster Hunter series producer Ryozo Tsujimoto highlighted the game's immersive narrative and high-quality voice acting as key drivers of its popularity. He also emphasized the role of crossplay in uniting players across various platforms.

Last month, in an interview with GamesRadar+, Tsujimoto underscored the significance of the PC platform and the considerable effort invested in achieving seamless crossplay. Acknowledging the PC market's growth globally and in Japan, he stated, "We worked very hard to achieve that this time around," adding, "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 champions the game's story, some fans hold differing opinions. Steam discussions reveal criticisms focusing on lengthy travel sequences and less-than-engaging dialogue. However, many acknowledge that the core appeal of Monster Hunter lies in its gameplay, not necessarily its narrative.
