We now have a release date for the hotly anticipated action RPG Monster Hunter Wilds; the game is set to launch on PS5 on 28th February, 2025. That's not the only announcement Capcom has made recently, however. An expensive Ultra Collector's Edition has been unveiled, and it includes an actual bicycle.
Yes, this edition of the game comes bundled with a foldable bike, which is definitely among the most unusual inclusions we've seen as part of a special edition. Obviously it bumps up the price quite a lot — if you want the Ultra Collector's Edition, it'll cost you ¥165,000 (roughly $1140). If you do nab it, the bike will be sent out separately later than the game itself, arriving between April and June 2025.
Currently, it seems this bundle is only available in Japan, with no indication if it'll be coming to other territories. We think it'll probably remain exclusive to Japan given the costs involved, but you never know.
Will you be looking to grab this ridiculous Monster Hunter edition? Do you hope it'll come West? Tell us your thoughts in the comments section below.

So Capcom are almost literally going to take their customers for a ride?
That’s… expensive. Sort of more justifiable given it includes a bloody bike to be fair.
@Matroska Underrated comment.
@jrt87 I won’t be getting this game but comments like this have convinced me to get a pro. After all the complaining about the pro’s price I reckon it’s gonna be at least 4 or 5 years till they can a get a low enough RRP on a ps6. There’s a lot of games gonna come out between now and then
@jrt87 Yeah, you're not wrong. Those are some lofty recommended specs. Even higher than black myth wukong.
Hopefully they will add a bike in game and make it like Tony Hawk Ride. Even better, add a lance accessory to it and swing it around your living room like a Wii mote.
Will be interesting where CEX are going to place a bike in their stores a few years from now. The glass cabinets won’t be one place it will be going in 🤔
Ahh the old foldable bike eh. For when a quick getaway is needed from that pesky Rathalos.
@jrt87 those pc specs were terrifying. This might be something I end up playing in a couple of generations
Lol a bike? Come on Capcom, you can do better since this is your best selling franchise 😆
@PuppetMaster you’re right. They should give you a monster to ride on instead. 😂
@Yousef- I'm not surprise if Capcom keep some monsters in their basement 😆
Nintendo might sue them for the patent of combining bicycles with mechanics involving capturing monsters.
@Yousef- ridable Veliciprey monstie or we riot.
@Bigmanfan @jrt87 I want to love Capcom but for the love of Amaterasu they seriously need to fix this garbage engine. World still looks trash and chokes high end gpus. This series made it big on PSP, Wii, and 3DS ffs. They learned nothing from DD2 and the moment a saw the trailer going for perfect photo realism I knew this game was going to be a choppy mess even on high end. And MH is NOT a game that works on.
