Monster Hunter Wilds: All Pre-Order Bonuses and Editions Revealed
With *Monster Hunter Wilds* set to launch soon, it's crunch time to decide if you want to snag those pre-order bonuses. Let's explore the pre-order bonuses and the various editions available to help you make an informed decision.
Which Platforms Is Monster Hunter Wilds Available On?
*Monster Hunter Wilds*, the latest installment in Capcom's acclaimed monster-slaying series, is slated for release on February 28. You'll be able to hunt on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC. Unfortunately, it won't be coming to the Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, or PlayStation 4 due to hardware limitations. There's a whisper of a potential release on the Nintendo Switch 2, but nothing has been confirmed by Nintendo yet.
As with its predecessors, *Monster Hunter Wilds* lets you explore a vast open world, taking down all sorts of monstrous creatures. You'll encounter giants like the fearsome Uth Duna and the iconic dragon-like Rathalos, the latter making a return, while Uth Duna is a fresh challenge for seasoned hunters.
Every Pre-Order Bonus For Monster Hunter Wilds
If you decide to pre-order *Monster Hunter Wilds* before February 28, you'll secure these enticing bonuses:
- Hunter Layered Armor Set: Guild Knight
