Monster Hunter Wilds, launching February 28th, 2025, is now available for pre-download on Steam. Clear 57 GB of storage space to prepare for this thrilling adventure.
Unlike many AAA titles with early access periods, Monster Hunter Wilds boasts a simultaneous global release. Every player starts their journey together on launch day. Choosing between the Deluxe and Premium editions is simplified; they primarily offer cosmetic enhancements.
Major gaming publications have already reviewed Monster Hunter Wilds, largely praising Capcom's latest addition to the acclaimed action-RPG franchise. It currently holds an impressive Metacritic score of 89/100 based on 54 PS5 reviews. Reviewers agree the game maintains its signature challenging gameplay while introducing a vibrant, dynamic open world. A refined user interface ensures accessibility for newcomers.
Confronting massive monsters remains a core strength, amplified by stunning graphics and innovative features such as dual weapon slots and a focus mode. However, some reviewers note the combat might feel repetitive after extended play. Another point of discussion is the skill system, which exclusively links offensive abilities to weapons and defensive attributes to armor and accessories. Despite these minor criticisms, Monster Hunter Wilds promises an unforgettable experience for veterans and newcomers alike.
