Monster Hunter Wilds Gains Traction Through Its Story, Immersive Experience, and Crossplay Features
Monster Hunter Wilds has shattered sales records by selling over 8 million units in just three days, making it Capcom’s fastest-selling game 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 strong focus on storytelling and exceptional voice acting. He also highlighted the role of crossplay in uniting players across various gaming platforms.
In another interview with GamesRadar+ last month, Tsujimoto emphasized the growing significance of the PC platform and their dedication to ensuring seamless crossplay. He noted, "We worked very hard to achieve that this time around," and added, "That means the choice is yours on which platform you want to play on, and then you can just go online and hunt with your friends."
While Tsujimoto praises the narrative, some fans have voiced their dissent, feeling that the story did not meet their expectations. Feedback from multiple Steam discussions points to lengthy Seikrit rides and uninspiring dialogue as the main grievances. However, it's widely acknowledged that players primarily engage with Monster Hunter games for the thrilling gameplay rather than the storyline.
