With *Monster Hunter Wilds* launching February 28th, now's your last chance to secure those coveted pre-order bonuses. But are they worth the rush? Let's break down every pre-order bonus and edition to help you decide.
Which Platforms Offer *Monster Hunter Wilds*?
Monster Hunter Wilds, the latest addition to Capcom's monster-hunting saga, arrives February 28th on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC. Its absence on Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4 likely stems from the game's demanding graphical requirements. A potential Nintendo Switch 2 release remains unconfirmed.
This iteration retains the series' signature open-world exploration, challenging hunters with a diverse roster of monstrous foes. Prepare to face colossal threats like the fearsome Uth Duna and the returning menace, Rathalos.
Every *Monster Hunter Wilds* Pre-Order Bonus
Pre-ordering Monster Hunter Wilds before February 28th unlocks these bonuses:
- Hunter Layered Armor Set
- Guild Knight Talisman
- Hope Charm
While Capcom hasn't detailed the Hope Charm's effects, past games suggest a stat boost. While not game-breaking, it could provide a helpful edge in certain situations.
