Monster Hunter Wilds has blown all expectations out of the water, even for a series that’s become one of Capcom’s biggest. After a massive debut that hit over 1 million concurrent players on Steam, it’s clear Monster Hunter has turned into a real juggernaut. But it also brings some tremendous change to the long-running franchise, and its developers think that change is part of the reasons for the game’s success. Surprisingly, according to series producer Ryozo Tsujimoto, the bigger emphasis on the story was a specific reason for the game’s success.
Tsujimoto’s comments come from a new interview with the Japanese outlet Nikkei (and translated by Automaton. "We placed emphasis on the story and increased the immersive feeling with voice acting," says Tsujimoto.
