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

Monster Hunter Wilds continues to shatter records, having now surpassed the 10 million sales mark. This achievement marks a new high for Capcom, making Wilds the company's fastest-selling game ever, eclipsing its previous record of 8 million copies sold in just three days.

In a statement to the press, Capcom highlighted several reasons behind Wilds' unprecedented success. The game's introduction of crossplay, a first for the series, along with a simultaneous launch on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, has significantly broadened its appeal. This approach contrasts with Monster Hunter World, which had a delayed PC release, and has helped Wilds outperform its predecessor.

Capcom emphasized that the inclusion of the new Focus Mode mechanic and the seamless transition between settlements and ecosystems have enriched the gameplay experience. The blend of innovative features with the traditional Monster Hunter allure has fueled excitement and contributed to the record-breaking first-month sales of over 10 million units.

Looking ahead, Monster Hunter Wilds is set to receive its first Title Update on April 4, introducing a beloved monster and the Grand Hub, a new social area within the game. Title Update 2, planned for the summer, will bring back the fan-favorite Lagiacrus.

The Monster Hunter series made a significant impact in the Western market with the 2018 release of Monster Hunter World, which remains Capcom's top-selling game with 21.3 million units sold. However, with its current trajectory, Wilds is poised to eventually surpass this figure.
