After the New Year's holiday, Capcom officially released the New Year's message of "Monster Hunter", as the producer of the "Monster Hunter" series, Ryozo Tsujimoto officially announced that the new information of "Monster Hunter: Wildlands" is expected to be released this summer, and at the same time, as the previous work, "Monster Hunter: World" has sold 23 million copies.
In addition to the sales of "Monster Hunter: World", Ryozo Tsujimoto said that the sales of "Monster Hunter: Rise" have exceeded 13 million copies. At the same time, in March 2024, the "Monster Hunter" series will celebrate its 20th anniversary, and the voting for the No. 1 selection of 299 monsters in the past will also be announced in March.
Monster Hunter: World is undoubtedly the fastest expansion of the franchise's community, with visuals and gameplay that are very different from the franchise's traditions. Better graphics, open-world and networked gameplay, as well as the launch of Capcom's PC version, have attracted a large number of new players to join the hunt. At the same time, after the sequel "Monster Hunter: Wildlands" was released, "Monster Hunter: World" on Steam ushered in another wave of player peaks, and since mid-December 2023, the game has maintained more than 100,000 online players. There is no doubt that everyone is waiting to go back to be a "blue star".
