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

The phenomenal success of Monster Hunter Wilds continues unabated, with the game surpassing the remarkable milestone of 10 million copies sold. This achievement sets a new first-month sales record for developer and publisher Capcom, eclipsing all previous records in the company's history. Remarkably, Wilds had already set a record as the fastest-selling game for Capcom, reaching 8 million sales within just three days of its launch.

In a statement to the press, Capcom highlighted several reasons behind Monster Hunter Wilds' exceptional success, which has even outshone the performance of Monster Hunter World. The company pointed to the introduction of crossplay and the simultaneous launch on consoles and PC as crucial elements enhancing the game's appeal. Unlike World, which saw a PC release six months after its console debut, Wilds was available across all platforms from day one.

"The title 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," Capcom stated.

Capcom further elaborated on the game's innovative features, such as the new Focus Mode mechanic and seamless transitions between settlements and ecosystems, which contribute to a deeply immersive gaming experience. The integration of these fresh elements with the core appeal of the Monster Hunter series has sparked significant excitement among players, culminating in 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 fan-favorite monster and the Grand Hub, a new in-game settlement designed for player interaction. Capcom has also teased the addition of Lagiacrus with Title Update 2, slated for the summer.
