Monster Hunter Wilds World Sales

Monster Hunter World has become a seemingly eternal money-spinner for Capcom, as the action RPG continues to post impressive sales numbers seven whole years after its release.

The impending launch of Monster Hunter Wilds has no doubt sparked this latest sales bump, with IGN Japan reporting that World somehow managed to shift 1 million copies within the last three months of 2024.

Again, that's crazy for a near decade-old game — and it brings World's total sales up to a ridiculous 28 million, or thereabouts. It remains Capcom's all-time best selling title.

Naturally, with the release of Wilds later this month, Capcom will be expecting World's sales to finally grind to a halt. But even then, it'll be interesting to see just how well Wilds does for itself while using World as a comparison.

Can Capcom pull it off all over again with Wilds? Honestly, we'd be somewhat surprised if it is able to match its predecessor's success — it always felt like World, and the series' return to PlayStation, was perfectly timed.

Do you think Wilds will end up on the same trajectory as World? Did you ever expect World to be such a colossal hit? Go back to the Guiding Lands in the comments section below.
