Capcom's announcement of "Monster Hunter Wilds," slated for release in 2025, has rekindled interest in their best-selling game, "Monster Hunter: World."

Furthermore, a substantial discount of 67% off on "Monster Hunter: World" acts as an additional incentive for prospective hunters. While the game lacks cross-play across platforms, the increased player activity makes matchmaking for group hunts easier. Detailed guides are recommended for newcomers to navigate the challenging and rich world of "Monster Hunter."
