Monster Hunter Wilds: Global Release Schedule Revealed

Capcom has officially announced the global release schedule for the much-anticipated game, Monster Hunter Wilds. Players on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S can dive into the action starting at 12am on Friday, February 28, according to their local time. For those on PC, the game will be available later in the day on the same date. However, if you're on Pacific Standard Time (PST), you can start playing on both console and PC from 9pm on Thursday, February 27.

It's important to note that if you've opted for a physical copy of Monster Hunter Wilds, you'll need to download a 15GB update before you can start playing, as confirmed by Capcom. On the other hand, those who pre-ordered the digital version can download the latest update in advance, ensuring a seamless start when the game launches on February 28.

Monster Hunter Wilds marks the latest entry in Capcom's acclaimed Monster Hunter series, eagerly awaited by fans worldwide. IGN's review of Monster Hunter Wilds awarded it an 8/10, praising the game for its "smart ways of smoothing off the rougher corners of the series," resulting in "extremely fun fights" but noting a "lack of real challenge."
