Monster Hunter Wilds hit the shelves four days ago and sold freaking 8 million copies. This title is rewriting Capcom’s record books and solidifying its place in the annals of gaming history.
This is a testament to how much players love hunting down colossal monsters and crafting epic gear. The franchise has long been a juggernaut for Capcom, but now it’s officially their fastest-selling title ever. If you thought Monster Hunter World, which sold 21 million copies since its launch, was impressive, think again.
With titles like the Resident Evil remakes, Street Fighter VI, and even the upcoming Dragon’s Dogma 2, Capcom seems to have found a sweet spot in this tumultuous industry landscape. While many publishers are struggling with financial woes and labor challenges, Capcom is thriving, having cleverly channeled its success into fresh projects like Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess. Plus, it’s dusting off some beloved franchises like Okami and Onimusha.
The excitement for Monster Hunter Wilds is also spilling over into real life. According to reports from Gamespot, players are clamoring for a dish featured in the game—cheese naan—which is now selling out at restaurants across Japan. Who knew that monster hunting could cause such culinary chaos?
Now might be the perfect time to join the fun if you haven’t already jumped into this latest adventure. With all these records being shattered and excitement building around every corner, there’s no telling what lies ahead.
