A year ago, longtime Monster Hunter producer Ryozo Tsujimoto celebrated notable series milestones, including a remarkable figure: 23 million. That’s how many copies of Monster Hunter: World Capcom had sold by early 2024. Moreover, the game’s sales have since surged to 28 million, solidifying it as Capcom’s most successful title in its 42-year history.

When it comes to financial expectations, the potential revenues from Monster Hunter Wilds are staggering.
