Monster Hunter Wilds is Popular Due To Its Story, Immersion, and Crossplay

With an astonishing 8 million units sold in just three days since its launch, Monster Hunter Wilds has swiftly become Capcom’s fastest-selling title. In a recent interview with The Nikkei on March 10, Monster Hunter series producer Ryozo Tsujimoto credits the game's success to its deep focus on storytelling and exceptional voice acting. He also emphasized the role of crossplay in uniting players across various gaming platforms.

In another interview with GamesRadar+ last month, Tsujimoto highlighted the significance of the PC platform and the team's dedication to crossplay. He noted the growing importance of PCs in Japan and globally, stating, "We worked very hard to achieve that this time around." He further elaborated, "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."

While Tsujimoto praises the narrative, some fans have expressed differing opinions, citing issues with lengthy Seikrit rides and unengaging dialogue in Steam discussions. However, many fans agree that the core appeal of Monster Hunter games lies in their gameplay rather than the story.
