Monster Hunter Wilds hasn't even been released and it's already set to be the biggest success of the year

The anticipated launch of Monster Hunter Wilds has generated a lot of buzz in the gaming community, positioning itself as one of the best-selling experiences on Steam before its official availability. Capcom has shown that its marketing and development strategy is paying off, exceeding the initial expectations that the Japanese company had set for this title.

During a recent Q&A session about the financial results of the last quarter, Capcom confirmed that the game’s pre-orders are progressing favorably, surpassing its own internal plans. Although the company did not disclose exact figures, initial records suggest a pace of pre-orders that has surprised even its analysts, indicative of the great interest that Monster Hunter Wilds has generated among players.

Capcom has big ambitions for the game

Capcom has the ambition to sell 50 million video games in the current fiscal year, which runs from April 1, 2024, to March 31, 2025, including 13 million units of new titles. This ambitious approach is supported by the commercial success of its predecessor, Monster Hunter: World, which has sold 28.1 million copies to date, cementing the company’s confidence in the sales potential of Wilds.

Despite its anticipated success, complaints have already emerged among fans regarding certain aspects of the game, especially related to the design of the armors, suggesting that expectations are so high that any development decision may be subject to scrutiny. Rumors suggest that these claims could influence future updates before its release, which could impact the reception of the title.
