Monster Hunter Wilds' Triumph: Story, Immersion, and Crossplay
MH Wilds has achieved phenomenal sales, surpassing 8 million units within just three days of its release, making it Capcom's fastest-selling title to date. In a March 10th interview with The Nikkei, series producer Ryozo Tsujimoto highlighted the game's immersive story and high-quality voice acting as key drivers of its popularity. He also emphasized the role of cross-platform play in connecting players across various consoles.
Last month, in an interview with GamesRadar+, Tsujimoto underscored the importance of the PC platform and the significant effort invested in enabling crossplay. Acknowledging the PC's growing prominence globally and in Japan, he stated, "We worked very hard to achieve that this time around," adding, "That means the choice is yours on which platform you want to play with, and then you can just go online and hunt with your friends."
While Tsujimoto emphasizes the narrative, some fans hold differing opinions, expressing concerns about lengthy cutscenes and unengaging dialogue in online Steam discussions. However, many acknowledge that the core appeal of Monster Hunter lies primarily in its gameplay, not its story.
