"Monster Hunter Wilds Surpasses 10 Million Sales, Capcom Reveals Success Secrets"

Monster Hunter Wilds continues its remarkable journey, having surpassed 10 million units sold, setting a new record for Capcom. This achievement marks the highest first-month sales in the company's history, surpassing all previous games. Notably, Wilds broke the record previously held by Capcom after selling 8 million copies within just three days of its launch.

Capcom attributes the phenomenal success of Monster Hunter Wilds to several key factors. The introduction of crossplay, a feature new to the series, and the simultaneous launch across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC have significantly broadened the game's appeal. In contrast, Monster Hunter World was released on PC six months after its console debut. Capcom highlighted that these elements, along with the innovative Focus Mode mechanic and seamless transitions between settlements and ecosystems, have enriched the gaming experience. The fusion of these new features with the beloved Monster Hunter formula has generated immense excitement, contributing to the unprecedented first-month sales of over 10 million units.

Looking ahead, Monster Hunter Wilds is set to expand further with Title Update 1, launching on April 4. This update introduces a fan-favorite monster and the Grand Hub, a new in-game settlement designed for player interaction. Title Update 2, slated for the summer, promises to bring back the beloved Lagiacrus. For a comprehensive overview, check out IGN's detailed coverage of the Monster Hunter Wilds Title Update 1 showcase.

The Monster Hunter series made a significant impact in the Western market with the 2018 release of Monster Hunter World, which remains Capcom's best-selling game with 21.3 million units sold. However, given the current trajectory, it's plausible that Monster Hunter Wilds will eventually eclipse this figure.
