Monster Hunter Wilds is currently breaking all records, at least for publisher Capcom. This applies not only to the number of players, but also to the sales.
Regardless of the still existing problems of the PC version of Monster Hunter Wilds, the champagne corks in Capcom are likely to pop in the Staccato. Not only that the number of players goes through the ceiling and one title after the other displaced from the Steam charts, the first sales figures also look great.
As Capcom said, Monster Hunter Wilds was sold a whopping eight million times in the first three days, making it the most successful launch of Capcom history. The game also clearly puts its predecessors in the shade. During the same period, Monster Hunter Rise four and five million copies of Monster Hunter Worlds went over the counter.
Monster Hunter Wilds has a good chance of pushing his predecessor Worlds from the throne in the long run even with the absolute sales figures. Especially since the hype with upcoming title updates (the first should appear in April) will not quickly subside.
Well, it doesn't seem to be without reason. Colleague Dennis was very enthusiastic in his first test by Monster Hunter Wilds and could hardly wait: “I can no longer expect to finally get into the multiplayer and to make the areas unsafe with my hunting group. Whether we are freely traveling through the biome and accidentally tackling on Monster or targeting quests: I see dozens of fun. Monster Hunter Wilds has just become very good – and I should already be my personal game of the year.
The game is on Metacritic at strong 90, whereby the user ratings are particularly significantly below due to defects in the technical implementation and the optimization.
