With Monster Hunter Wilds' release on February 28th fast approaching, now's your last chance to secure those coveted pre-order bonuses. But is the pre-order rush truly worth it? Let's delve into the pre-order bonuses and various editions to help you decide.
Which Platforms Offer Monster Hunter Wilds?
Monster Hunter Wilds, the latest addition to Capcom's acclaimed monster-hunting franchise, arrives on February 28th for Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC. Its absence on Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4 is likely due to the game's demanding technical requirements. While a potential Nintendo Switch 2 release remains a possibility, no official announcements have been made.
This latest installment maintains the series' signature open-world exploration, tasking players with hunting a diverse array of monstrous creatures. Prepare to face colossal beasts, including the fearsome Uth Duna and the returning menace, Rathalos—a formidable challenge for even seasoned hunters.
Every Pre-Order Bonus for Monster Hunter Wilds
Pre-ordering Monster Hunter Wilds before February 28th grants you the following:
- Hunter Layered Armor Set
- Guild Knight Talisman
- Hope Charm
While Capcom hasn't detailed the Hope Charm's effects, past games suggest a beneficial in-game boost. While not game-breaking, it could provide a helpful advantage in specific situations.
