Monster Hunter Wilds' Breakout Success Is Because Of Its Story, Producer Claims

Monster Hunter series producer Ryozo Tsujimoto has credited the story of Monster Hunter Wilds as being one of the primary factors behind the Capcom game's breakout success.

Tsujimoto, who was recently promoted to become Capcom's Chief Product Officer, stated this in an interview with Nikkei, a Japanese publication. Automaton then reported his comments, which explained that Tsujimoto believed players enjoyed how Monster Hunter Wilds emphasized its story more than previous Monster Hunter games and how its immersiveness was heightened as the game was fully voiced. He also credited cross-play with drawing many people to the game and getting them to stick around.

Monster Hunter Wilds launched on February 28 and sold 8 million copies during its first three days on the market. On March 10, Circana's Executive Director Mat Piscatella confirmed on Bluesky that Monster Hunter Wilds had the highest launch-week dollar sales for any game since Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and that it ranked 1 in weekly dollar sales across all three platforms it was available on.
