The massive success of Monster Hunter Wilds can be largely attributed to its strong narrative focus, according to the series' producer, Ryozo Tsujimoto. Dive deeper into Tsujimoto's insights on the game and get the scoop on the upcoming limited-time event.
Monster Hunter Wilds Continues To Be One of The Most Popular Games of 2025
Monster Hunter Wilds is Popular Due To Its Story, Immersion, and Crossplay
Monster Hunter Wilds has shattered records by selling over 8 million units within just three days of its release, making it Capcom's fastest-selling title to date. In a recent interview with The Nikkei on March 10, Ryozo Tsujimoto, the producer behind the Monster Hunter series, credits the game's success to its compelling story and exceptional voice work. He also highlighted the significance of crossplay, which has enabled players from different gaming platforms to unite and enjoy the game together.
Last month, Tsujimoto shared his views on the importance of the PC platform with GamesRadar+. He emphasized the growing popularity of PCs in Japan and worldwide, saying, "We worked very hard to achieve that this time around." Tsujimoto further explained, "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."
Despite Tsujimoto's praise for the game's story, some fans have expressed differing opinions on platforms like Steam. Many feel that the narrative elements, including long Seikrit rides and uninteresting dialogue, didn't meet their expectations. However, fans also acknowledge that the core appeal of Monster Hunter games lies in their gameplay rather than their storytelling.
At Game8, Monster Hunter Wilds has been awarded an impressive overall score of 90 out of 100. The game excels in enhancing its predecessors' features with quality-of-life improvements, captivating gameplay, stunning visuals, and a surprisingly engaging story.
