Monster Hunter Wilds is nearly here, offering exclusive pre-order rewards. Should you secure your copy now? We break down all pre-order bonuses and editions for Monster Hunter Wilds to guide your decision.
Monster Hunter Wilds, Capcom’s newest beast-hunting adventure, launches February 28 on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC. It won’t be available on Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, or PlayStation 4, likely due to hardware limitations. Could it appear on a Nintendo Switch 2? It’s plausible, but Nintendo has yet to comment.
Like its predecessors, players explore a vast open world, battling ferocious creatures. Expect encounters with colossal beasts like the new Uth Duna and the iconic dragon-like Rathalos, a fan-favorite returning monster.
Pre-order Monster Hunter Wilds before February 28 to unlock these exclusive bonuses:
Capcom hasn’t detailed the Hope Charm’s effects, but past games suggest it provides a character boost when equipped. It won’t make you invincible, but it could offer a slight advantage in tough battles.
Pre-ordering secures bonus items, but missing the deadline means missing out on the Guild Knight set and Hope Charm. Choosing an edition adds complexity, especially with unique offerings like an official Monster Hunter bike.
Yes, a $1,200 bike is part of one edition. Here’s a breakdown of all Monster Hunter Wilds editions available for pre-order.
Available digitally and physically on consoles and digitally on PC, this includes:
Available digitally on PC and consoles, this edition offers:
Most bonuses are cosmetic, enhancing your style without making you a top-tier hunter. You’ll still look sharp while taking down beasts.
This digital-only edition for consoles and PC includes:
Exclusive to Japan, Capcom offers two physical PS5 Collector’s Editions for Monster Hunter Wilds, currently unavailable elsewhere:
Priced at $68, this edition includes a steelbook, bag, and plush but no game. Shipping to non-Japan regions adds about $30, nearing $100. The Seikret plush is charming, but is it worth the cost? That’s your call.
This edition includes a Dahon K9X folding bike, shipped separately around April 2025. Despite the $1,140 price, it excludes Deluxe Edition DLC. It’s not the wildest collector’s edition ever—Saints Row IV’s $1,000,000 Wad Wad Edition holds that title.
Is the bike worth it? The Dahon K9X retails for about $870 in Japan. Comparable models are available in the US, but Capcom’s Japan store doesn’t ship internationally, so you’ll need a forwarding service for the game, items, and bike.
International buyers face challenges, as Capcom’s Japan store doesn’t ship globally. You’ll need to arrange for someone to purchase and ship the game, smaller items, and later the bike. Higher-tier Collector’s and Ultra Collector’s Editions with deluxe or premium DLC are also available.
Full reviews are pending, but a Monster Hunter Wilds beta and previews have generated buzz. Early feedback is largely positive. Here’s what some outlets are saying:
IGN: “The diverse monsters in Monster Hunter Wilds, from their designs to behaviors, and the richly detailed environments showcase the developers’ dedication to the series.”
PCGamesN: “Monster Hunter Wilds builds on World’s strengths, opting for evolution over revolution—a smart choice given its predecessor’s success.”
Eurogamer: “Monster Hunter Wilds feels polished and accessible, making it the most beginner-friendly entry in the series.”
GamesRadar: “In just 30 minutes, Monster Hunter Wilds convinced me to dive into this action-RPG series.”
IGN’s latest preview notes improved performance compared to the Open Beta Test, addressing player concerns about issues, as discussed in a Reddit thread.
Previews suggest Monster Hunter Wilds strikes a balance, innovating enough to feel fresh while staying true to its roots. Still undecided? Try the open betas on February 7-10 and February 14-17.
