Monster Hunter Wilds has taken over five years to develop, partly because 2018's Monster Hunter World was such a storming success for Capcom that it brought in droves of new players for the franchise.
By the time Monster Hunter Wilds eventually launches next year in 2025, it will have been seven years since Monster Hunter World released. The 2018 title is now the best-selling game in Capcom's history, amassing 26.3 million sales worldwide as of earlier this year.
