Monster Hunter Wilds sets a new Capcom sales record, director details 2025 roadmap
Monster Hunter Wilds has become not only the most successful launch in franchise history, but the most successful in Capcom history as well, rocketing past 10 million copies sold in its first month. MH Wilds surpassed its predecessor, Monster Hunter: World, which sold eight million copies in its first month post-launch, with the main difference being that the latest title launched day one on PC as well as console. Screenshot by Destructoid In a new letter from MH Wilds director Yuya Tokuda, he explains that the launch is just the beginning, further hyping up post-launch content and updates beyond this week's Title Update 1 that will bring classic monster Mizutsune to the game, along with much more. For the first time, Tokuda teased something coming in May, including weapon-balancing changes. "In response to some of the feedback after launch, we are planning to make various adjustments to the game, including weapon balance changes," he said. "These will be implemented gradually with each upcoming title update in order to make the game more enjoyable for everyone for a longer period of time. Depending on the content, these changes may take some time to prepare." Tokuda teased "upward adjustments for the Hammer, and then looking at other overall weapon balance adjustments with a goal to implement them either in the end of May update or the second title update in summer," further exciting players. Capcom said that MH Wilds "provides an environment where a wider range of players can enjoy the game together with the introduction of crossplay, a first for the series, and a simultaneous release on Playstation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC," which the company thinks has played a big part in its success. "Additionally, the introduction of the new Focus Mode mechanic and the implementation of seamless movement between settlements and ecosystems have provided an even more immersive gaming experience, while the fusion of numerous new elements with Monster Hunter’s appeal has generated significant excitement, all of which led to the company first-month sales record of over 10 million units sold," Capcom said.
