Platform Availability:
Monster Hunter Wilds, Capcom's latest monster-hunting adventure, arrives on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC. A Nintendo Switch release remains unconfirmed, likely due to hardware limitations. A potential Nintendo Switch 2 port is possible, but currently unannounced.
The game retains the series' signature open-world exploration, featuring colossal beasts like the fearsome Uth Duna and the returning Rathalos.
Pre-Order Bonuses:
Pre-ordering Monster Hunter Wilds before February 28th grants you:
- Hunter Layered Armor Set: Guild Knight
- Talisman: Hope Charm
While the Hope Charm's exact effects are undisclosed, it's expected to provide a stat boost, offering a slight advantage in certain situations.

Beyond pre-order bonuses, several editions are available:
Standard Edition ($69.99): Includes the base game and pre-order content. Available digitally and physically on consoles, and digitally on PC.
Deluxe Edition ($89.99): Features the base game, pre-order content, and additional cosmetic items including layered armor sets, decorations, gestures, hairstyles, and more. Available digitally on PC and consoles.
