MH Wilds has achieved phenomenal success, surpassing 8 million units sold 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 captivating 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 different consoles.

Last month, in an interview with GamesRadar+, Tsujimoto underscored the significance of the PC platform and the extensive efforts invested in enabling crossplay. He acknowledged the growing popularity of PC gaming in Japan and globally, stating, "We worked very hard to achieve that this time around." He further explained, "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 travel sequences and less-engaging dialogue in online discussions on Steam. However, many acknowledge that the core appeal of Monster Hunter lies primarily in its gameplay rather than its story.
