Get ready for the hunt! Monster Hunter Wilds is available for pre-download on Steam, preparing for its global launch on February 28th, 2025. Clear 57 GB of storage space to begin your adventure.
Unlike many AAA titles, Monster Hunter Wilds will launch simultaneously worldwide, eliminating any early access periods. The Deluxe and Premium editions primarily offer cosmetic enhancements, simplifying the purchasing decision.
Early reviews are overwhelmingly positive. Monster Hunter Wilds currently boasts an 89/100 Metacritic score based on 54 PS5 reviews. Reviewers applaud the seamless blend of the series' signature challenging gameplay with a stunning, dynamic open world. An improved user interface makes the game more accessible to newcomers.
Epic monster battles remain a core feature, amplified by state-of-the-art graphics and innovative additions like dual weapon slots and a dedicated focus mode. However, some reviewers note that the combat might feel repetitive after extended play, and the skill system, which tightly links offense to weapons and defense to armor, may prove limiting to some.
Despite these minor drawbacks, Monster Hunter Wilds promises a captivating experience for veteran hunters and newcomers alike. Prepare for an unforgettable journey.
