Monster Hunter Wilds Continues to Dominate as One of the Most Popular Games of 2025
Monster Hunter Wilds Gains Traction Through Its Story, Immersive Experience, and Crossplay Features
Since its launch, Monster Hunter Wilds has achieved unprecedented success, selling over 8 million units within just three days, making it Capcom's fastest-selling title to date. In a recent interview with The Nikkei on March 10, Ryozo Tsujimoto, the producer of the Monster Hunter series, credited the game's success to its strong narrative and exceptional voice acting. He also highlighted the impact of crossplay, which has enabled a more unified gaming experience across various consoles.
Tsujimoto further elaborated on the importance of the PC platform in an interview with GamesRadar+ last month. He emphasized the significance of crossplay, stating, "We worked very hard to achieve that this time around." He added, "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." This approach has clearly resonated well with the gaming community.
Despite Tsujimoto's praise for the story, some fans have expressed differing opinions. Discussions on Steam reveal dissatisfaction with certain aspects of the narrative, particularly citing long Seikrit rides and unengaging dialogue. However, fans acknowledge that the core appeal of Monster Hunter games lies in their gameplay, not their storytelling.
At Game8, Monster Hunter Wilds earned an impressive score of 90 out of 100. This high rating is due to the game's enhancements over its predecessors, including quality-of-life improvements, engaging gameplay, stunning visuals, and a surprisingly compelling story.
