Alright, let’s dive into this—yeah, Capcom struck gold with Monster Hunter Wilds in 2025. Like, who’s surprised? After Monster Hunter: World and Rise, it was kinda clear Capcom had the magic touch. It smashed records, selling over 8 million copies in just a handful of days. Yeah, fastest-selling game for them, no biggie. Steam reviews were mixed though—guess some PC users got the short end of the stick. But hey, major gaming sites were all about it.
Fans are buzzing about what’s next. Capcom’s hinted at new monsters and events but is keeping DLC plans under wraps. Could go the expansion route, but honestly, an ‘Ultimate’ version sounds sweet. You remember those, right? They used to add tons of new stuff and hit different consoles too.
Back in the day, Monster Hunter games would get expanded versions. Remember 2004’s original Monster Hunter? Got a boost on PS2 and Wii in Japan. And the ‘Ultimate’ tag didn’t even appear until 2009 with MH3. Stuff like Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate brought cool features—underwater fights, new monsters. Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate? Over 30 new monsters and rad Palico skills.
But lately, Capcom mixed it up. Monster Hunter: World’s expansion Iceborne in 2019 was a beast. Instead of an ‘Ultimate’ re-release, it brought a new storyline with crazy challenges. Master Rank and new monsters—just what fans craved.
Now imagine, if Capcom drops a Monster Hunter Wilds Ultimate version—maybe with a Switch 2 port too? Gamers could dive into fresh content without the whole extra payment fiasco for DLCs. They could tweak what wasn’t working right in the original. Just a thought. But who knows what they’ll actually do next!
