The standard edition priced at 9,900 yen ($66.63) is selling the best. In second place is the Premium Deluxe Edition at 13,900 yen ($93.58), which surpassed the regular Deluxe version priced at 11,900 yen ($80.11).
Monster Hunter Wilds is followed by the fighting game Phantom Breaker Omnia and the tactical RPG Unicorn Overlord, developed by Japanese studios. These games are unable to compete with Capcom’s massive release.
Monster Hunter Wilds is the new installment in Capcom’s renowned series, featuring an open world, dynamic ecosystem, and weather changes that affect gameplay. The game offers new monsters, expanded hunting mechanics, and a cooperative mode.
A curious fact: the surge in Monster Hunter Wilds sales in Japan coincided with an increased demand for cheese naan. It is hardly a coincidence.
Monster Hunter Wilds is available on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Steam).
