Hunt Monsters, Collect Rewards: Monster Hunter Wilds Packs Incentives

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 grab those coveted pre-order bonuses. Should you jump in? Let's examine the pre-order incentives and available 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. Skipping Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and (for now) Nintendo Switch, the game's demanding visuals likely necessitate more powerful hardware. A potential Nintendo Switch 2 release remains unconfirmed.

The game retains the series' hallmark open-world exploration, featuring both returning behemoths like Rathalos and formidable new threats such as Uth Duna.

Pre-Order Bonuses:

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

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

While the Hope Charm's exact effect is unannounced, it's expected to provide a beneficial in-game boost.

Editions of Monster Hunter Wilds:

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): Digitally and physically on consoles, digitally on PC. Includes the base game and pre-order content.

• Deluxe Edition ($89.99): Digital on PC and consoles. Adds substantial cosmetic items to the Standard Edition's offerings, including additional layered armor sets, decorations, gestures, hairstyles, and more.

• Premium Deluxe Edition ($109.99): Digital on PC and consoles. Builds upon the Deluxe Edition with premium bonus content at launch and additional cosmetic DLC packs releasing in Spring and Summer 2025.

Japan-Exclusive Collector's Editions:

Capcom offers two physical Collector's Editions exclusively for the Japanese PS5 market:

• Collector's Edition ($68): Steelbook case, weapon bag, and Seikret plush. Note: The game itself is not included in this edition.

• Ultra Collector's Edition ($1,140): Includes the base game, pre-order content, the items from the Collector's Edition, and a Monster Hunter Wilds Secret Folding Bicycle. The bike ships separately around April 2025.

International shipping for these Collector's Editions is not directly offered by Capcom.

Early Reactions:

While full reviews are pending, early previews and beta feedback are overwhelmingly positive. Sources like IGN, PCGamesN, Eurogamer, and GamesRadar praise the game's refined mechanics, improved performance, and impressive monster design.

Another open beta is scheduled for February 7-10 and February 14-17, providing a hands-on opportunity before launch.

Don't delay! Secure your pre-order and chosen edition of Monster Hunter Wilds before February 28th to avoid missing out on the bonuses.
