Secure Your Monster Hunter Wilds Pre-Order Bonuses Before It's Too Late!

With Monster Hunter Wilds launching February 28th, time is running out to grab those coveted pre-order bonuses. But are they worth the rush? Let's examine the pre-order incentives and available editions to help you decide.

Platform Availability:

Monster Hunter Wilds, Capcom's latest monster-hunting adventure, arrives on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC. Notably absent are the Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4, likely due to hardware limitations. A potential Nintendo Switch 2 release remains unconfirmed.

The game features a vast open world teeming with diverse monsters, including returning favorites like Rathalos and a fearsome new foe, Uth Duna.

Pre-Order Bonuses:

Pre-ordering Monster Hunter Wilds before February 28th unlocks these bonuses:

• Hunter Layered Armor Set: Guild Knight
• Talisman: Hope Charm

While the Hope Charm's exact effect is unconfirmed, it's expected to provide a beneficial in-game boost.

Game Editions:

Beyond pre-order bonuses, choosing the right edition requires careful consideration, especially if you're eyeing the exclusive collector's items.

• Standard Edition ($69.99): Digitally and physically available on consoles, and digitally on PC. Includes the base game and pre-order content.

• Deluxe Edition ($89.99): Digital release on PC and consoles. Adds substantial cosmetic content to the base game and pre-order items. This includes layered armor sets, decorations, gestures, hairstyles, and more.

• Premium Deluxe Edition ($109.99): Digital release on PC and consoles. Bundles the base game, pre-order content, Deluxe Edition content, and additional premium bonuses released at launch and throughout 2025 (including further cosmetic DLC packs).

Japan-Exclusive Collector's Editions:

Two physical Collector's Editions are currently exclusive to Japan:

• Collector's Edition ($68): Includes a steelbook, weapon bag, and Seikret plush. Note: The game itself is not included in this edition.

• Ultra Collector's Edition ($1,140): A truly extravagant edition featuring the base game, pre-order content, the items from the Collector's Edition, and a Monster Hunter Wilds branded Dahon K9X folding bicycle (shipped separately in April 2025).

International shipping for these Collector's Editions is not directly supported by Capcom.

Early Reactions:

While full reviews are pending, early previews and beta feedback are overwhelmingly positive. Reviewers praise the refined gameplay, improved performance over the beta, and the impressive variety of monsters and environments.

Another open beta is scheduled for February 7-10 and February 14-17, offering a chance to experience the game firsthand.
