Monster Hunter Wilds' Pre-Order Bonuses Unveiled

Secure Your Monster Hunter Wilds Pre-Order Bonuses Before It's Too Late!

With Monster Hunter Wilds launching February 28th, time is running out to claim those coveted pre-order bonuses. But are they worth the rush? Let's explore the pre-order offerings and various editions to help you decide.

Platform Availability:

Monster Hunter Wilds, Capcom's latest monster-hunting adventure, arrives on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC. This generation-specific release likely stems from the game's demanding graphical requirements. While a Nintendo Switch 2 release is possible, no official announcements have been made.

The game features a vast open world teeming with diverse monsters, including returning favorites like Rathalos and formidable newcomers such as the fearsome Uth Duna.

Pre-Order Bonuses:

Pre-ordering Monster Hunter Wilds before February 28th unlocks these exclusive rewards:

• Hunter Layered Armor Set: Guild Knight
• Talisman: Hope Charm

The exact effects of the Hope Charm remain undisclosed, but past games suggest a beneficial combat boost. While not game-breaking, it could provide a valuable edge.

Game Editions:

Beyond pre-order bonuses, choosing the right edition requires careful consideration, especially if you're eyeing the unique collector's items.

• Standard Edition ($69.99): Available digitally and physically on consoles, and digitally on PC. Includes the base game and pre-order content.

• Deluxe Edition ($89.99): Digital-only for PC and consoles. Adds a wealth of cosmetic items to the base game and pre-order content, including additional layered armor sets, decorations, gestures, hairstyles, and more.

• Premium Deluxe Edition ($109.99): Digital-only for PC and consoles. This edition bundles the base game, pre-order content, Deluxe Edition content, and additional premium bonus content released at launch and throughout 2025, including further layered armor, decorations, gestures, and more.

Japan-Exclusive Collector's Editions:

Capcom offers two physical Collector's Editions exclusively for the PlayStation 5 in Japan:

• Collector's Edition ($68): Includes a steelbook case, weapon bag, and a Seikret plush. Note: The game itself is not included.

• Ultra Collector's Edition ($1,140): Features the base game, pre-order content, the items from the Collector's Edition, and a Monster Hunter Wilds branded Dahon K9X folding bicycle. The bike ships separately around April 2025.

International shipping is not available from Capcom's Japan store for these Collector's Editions.

Early Reactions:

While full reviews are pending, early previews and beta feedback have been largely positive. Reviewers praise the game's improved performance over the beta, the diverse and detailed monster designs, and streamlined gameplay.

Additional open betas are scheduled for February 7-10 and February 14-17, offering a chance to experience the game firsthand.

Don't delay! Secure your pre-order and chosen edition of Monster Hunter Wilds before the February 28th launch.
