Monster Hunter Wilds Impressively Launched

The latest installment in Capcom's iconic Monster Hunter series, Monster Hunter Wilds, shattered records just 30 minutes after its release on Steam, with concurrent player numbers soaring past 675,000 and quickly hitting the 1 million mark. This phenomenal launch not only marks the highest debut in the Monster Hunter franchise but also sets a new benchmark for all of Capcom's games. Previously, Monster Hunter: World (2018) held the record with 334,000 active players, followed by Monster Hunter Rise (2022) at 230,000. Despite the record-breaking success, the game encountered a significant backlash on Steam due to technical difficulties, including bugs and frequent crashes.

Monster Hunter Wilds introduces a fresh standalone storyline, perfect for newcomers to dive into. Set in a world teeming with formidable beasts, players assume the role of a protagonist unraveling the secrets of the Forbidden Lands. This mysterious region is home to the legendary "White Ghost," a mythical creature, and the enigmatic Guardians, both of which enrich the narrative with their presence and lore.

While pre-release reviews were largely positive, some critics have pointed out that Capcom streamlined the game's mechanics to appeal to a wider audience. However, this adjustment has been well-received by many players and reviewers alike, who praise the game for maintaining its depth and quality while becoming more accessible.

Monster Hunter Wilds is now available on modern consoles including PS5 and Xbox Series, as well as on PC, offering players across different platforms the chance to experience this record-breaking game.
