Monster Hunter Wilds producer knows exactly why the game is so successful—and it’s not gameplay
During an interview with The Nikkei (translated by Automaton), Tsujimoto stated that the exceptional success of the game Wilds can be attributed to its higher degree of immersion achieved through voice acting and more profound storytelling. He further noted that crossplay, which allows players on different platforms to play together, was also a significant factor as it enabled friends to play regardless of the device they were using. Notably, Wilds stands apart from its predecessors due to its focus on narrative, a component that was sometimes overlooked in favor of combat and enemies in previous versions.
