More Players Than Ever on PC
In an exciting revelation, Ryozo Tsujimoto, the producer of Monster Hunter Wilds, shared insights into the expanding player base on PC, noting that there are more players now than ever before, including in Japan. This shift in the gaming landscape indicates a growing trend where PC gaming is becoming increasingly popular, both globally and in traditional gaming markets like Japan.
Preparing for a Seamless Launch
Speaking with GamesRadar, Tsujimoto explained how the series’ past experiences with handheld platforms prepared them for the challenge of launching Monster Hunter Wilds simultaneously on all platforms. The lessons learned during their handheld wilderness years have equipped Capcom with the knowledge and strategies needed for this ambitious cross-platform release. This meticulous planning ensures that players can seamlessly transition between their preferred gaming devices.
Crossplay Opportunities for All
One of the most exciting developments in Monster Hunter Wilds is the introduction of crossplay functionality. According to Tsujimoto, this feature gives players the flexibility to choose their preferred platform while still being able to hunt with friends online. “The choice is yours on which platform you want to play with,” he stated, emphasizing that the aim is to capture new players who may not have previously tried the series. This inclusive approach makes Monster Hunter Wilds accessible and inviting for both new and veteran players alike.
