With Monster Hunter Wilds' release on February 28th fast approaching, now's your last chance to secure those coveted pre-order bonuses. But is it worth the pre-order rush? Let's delve into the pre-order bonuses and various editions to help you decide.
Which Platforms Offer Monster Hunter Wilds?
Monster Hunter Wilds, the latest addition to Capcom's monster-hunting saga, arrives February 28th on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC. Its absence on Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4 is likely due to the game's demanding graphical requirements. While a potential Nintendo Switch 2 release is possible, no official announcements have been made.
The game, as with its predecessors, features a vast open world where you'll hunt a diverse range of monsters. Prepare for epic encounters with colossal beasts, including the fearsome Uth Duna and the returning menace, Rathalos.
Every Pre-Order Bonus for Monster Hunter Wilds
Pre-ordering Monster Hunter Wilds before February 28th (hurry!) grants you these bonuses:
- Hunter Layered Armor Set
- Guild Knight Talisman
- Hope Charm
While Capcom hasn't detailed the Hope Charm's effects, past games suggest a stat boost. While not game-breaking, it could provide a helpful edge in certain situations.
