Monster Hunter: World shipments and digital sales top 25 million

With Dragon's Dogma 2 currently enthralling players worldwide, it might seem too soon for some to contemplate another open world epic from storied developer Capcom, but here we are. Reliable leakster Dusk Golem let slip a few morsels from sources on Discord, and they seem pretty confident that this one will arrive in Q1 of 2025, writing, «I don't think even GTA VI would make them delay it.»

An insider has said that recent «leaks» regarding Monster Hunter Wilds were fake. The leaks claimed that Monster Hunter Wilds would release in Q1 2025, among other things.

Capcom's big Monster Hunter Wilds reveal in December might have been eye-catching, but it was a little light on detail; but now, new leaks have shed a little more light on the developer's plans, claiming this latest series instalment will be fully open world and launching in Q1 2025.

A new Monster Hunter Wilds leak indicates that the game will be released in the first quarter of 2025 and that it will be the first fully open-world entry in the franchise. The Monster Hunter franchise has grown in popularity recently, and Monster Hunter Wilds seems to be an ambitious attempt to take the series to the next level.

Capcom has made a strong mark on the modern open world space with the recently released Dragon’s Dogma 2, but it seems like the company has an even bigger behemoth waiting in the wings. Monster Hunter Wilds is set to launch sometime next year, and as per prominent leaker Dusk Golem, it’s set to be Capcom’s biggest game to date “by far”.

We have new rumors about Monster Hunter Wilds that is just going to raise expectations through the roof.

Renowned CAPCOM leaker Dusk Golem has revealed that the publisher's next major projects, Resident Evil 9 and Monster Hunter Wilds, will both follow in the footsteps of Dragon's Dogma 2 with an open world design. Here's what Dusk Golem wrote on Twitter:

The Monster Hunter Stories remaster was officially announced during the Nintendo Direct in February. If you want both that and its sequel, Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin, together, you can now preorder the physical version of the Monster Hunter Stories Collection for Nintendo Switch at various retailers (see at Amazon). This version comes with a game card for Monster Hunter Stories and then a download voucher for Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin.

Monster Hunter World has sold 25 million units, making it responsible for over 25% of the 20-year-old action RPG series' total sales. 

The 2024 roadmap for online survival role-playing game Enshrouded has revealed world events, more biomes, and potted plants are all coming to the game this year — but its departure from Early Access is not.

Monster Hunter turned 20 this week, and Capcom is doing all sorts throughout 2024 to mark the occasion. Just because the next big game in the series won't be here until 2025 doesn't mean there isn't other stuff the studio can do for Monster Hunter's birthday. Joining everything else Monster Hunter in 2024 is a team-up with Secretlab, its new Fatalis collection introducing a high-end gaming chair and a limited edition lumbar pillow, both given a Monster Hunter makeover.

After it was announced that the first game would be remastered and rereleased, Capcom has revealed the PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and PC release dates for both .
