Celebrating its 20th anniversary in March 2024, the Monster Hunter series consists of hunting action games that pit players against giant monsters in beautiful natural environments. Beginning with the first title in 2004, the series established a new genre in which players cooperate to hunt ferocious monsters with their friends and has since grown into a global phenomenon with cumulative sales of the series exceeding 97 million units as of December 31, 2023.
With Monster Hunter: World, Capcom drove the Monster Hunter series to global-brand status with a series-first worldwide simultaneous launch and international promotional activities, establishing the game as Capcom’s best-selling title of all time within a month of its release. In the six years since the game’s launch, Capcom has continued to promote digital sales, leading Monster Hunter: World to achieve a new Capcom all-time-record of 25 million cumulative units sold. Further, in December of last year Capcom revealed Monster Hunter Wilds, garnering broad attention with the announcement that the latest title in the series is scheduled for release in 2025.
Capcom remains firmly committed to satisfying the expectations of all users by leveraging its industry-leading game development capabilities in order to create highly entertaining gameplay experiences.

Hopefully MH Wilds is just as good as world was.... it looks fantastic from trailers. Hopefully Switch 2, is powerfull enough to run it as well.
World was so great.. But, I actually liked Rise a lot more! Wonder what the sales for Rise are?
A distant second at 14.2 million, but still good enough to be Capcom's 2nd best selling game ever lol. Although that could change if Capcom updates sales numbers for Resident Evil. RE2R and RE7 are right behind Rise.
I kind of got Monster Huntered out after the PSP and 3DS.
I could never get into the online multiplayer, it bores me in about 4 minutes - but local multiplayer was a ball!
I'm playing World right now actually. It's pretty good but not that much has changed since Tri from 2009.
Never tried any mh,
Absurd numbers from Capcom!
Well-done!
