Story, Immersion, and Crossplay Fuel Monster Hunter Wilds' Popularity
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, Monster Hunter 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 crossplay in connecting players across various platforms.
Last month, in an interview with GamesRadar+, Tsujimoto underscored the importance of the PC platform and the significant effort invested in enabling crossplay. He acknowledged the PC market's growth 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 credits the game's narrative, some fans hold differing opinions, expressing concerns about lengthy travel sequences and unengaging dialogue in online Steam discussions. However, many acknowledge that the core appeal of Monster Hunter lies in its gameplay, rather than its story.
