Monster Hunter Wilds: Pre-Order Bonuses and Editions Revealed

With the release of *Monster Hunter Wilds* just around the corner, the clock is ticking to secure those enticing pre-order bonuses. Is it worth the rush to pre-order? Let's delve into the details of all pre-order bonuses and editions available for *Monster Hunter Wilds* 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 set to launch on February 28 on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC. Unfortunately, it won't be coming to the Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, or PlayStation 4, likely due to the high graphical and processing demands of the game. Speculation about a future release on the rumored Nintendo Switch 2 exists, but there's no official word from Nintendo yet.

As with its predecessors, *Monster Hunter Wilds* invites players to explore a vast open world, engaging in epic battles against a variety of creatures, including the colossal Uth Duna and the returning, fearsome Rathalos. The game promises thrilling encounters with both new and familiar monsters, ensuring an exciting hunting experience.

Every Pre-Order Bonus For Monster Hunter Wilds

If you decide to pre-order *Monster Hunter Wilds* before the February 28 deadline, you'll receive the following bonuses:

• Hunter Layered Armor Set: Guild Knight
• Talisman: Hope Charm

While Capcom hasn't detailed the specific effects of the Hope Charm, it's likely to offer some beneficial in-game bonus, akin to those seen in previous titles. Although it might not transform you into an unstoppable force, the charm could provide a valuable advantage in specific situations.

Every Edition of Monster Hunter Wilds

Pre-ordering ensures you don't miss out on the exclusive outfits and charm. However, choosing the right edition can be a bit more complex, especially if you're eyeing the unique *Monster Hunter* bike.

Available both digitally and physically on consoles, and digitally on PC, the Standard Edition includes:

• *Monster Hunter Wilds* base game

While these editions are available in the West, Capcom has also announced two physical PS5-exclusive Collector’s Editions, which are currently only available in Japan:

Collector’s Edition ($68)

This edition includes:

• Fluffy Seikret plush
• Weapon bag
• Steelbook

At $68, this option doesn't include the game itself. Higher tiers are available if you want the game, but international shipping adds to the cost, bringing the total close to $100. The adorable Seikret plush is tempting, but consider whether it's worth the price.

Ultra Collector’s Edition ($1,140)

This edition includes:

• *Monster Hunter Wilds* base game
• Pre-order content
• Fluffy Seikret plush
• Weapon bag
• Steelbook
• *Monster Hunter Wilds* Secret Folding Bicycle

Yes, you can own a bike with your game, though it doesn't include the Deluxe Edition DLC. The bike, a Dahon K9X, will be shipped separately in April 2025. While it's an unusual collector's item, it's not the most bizarre we've seen. The bike's retail price in Japan is around $870, making the bundle a unique but expensive proposition.

Capcom's Japan store doesn't ship internationally, so securing this edition requires finding someone to buy and ship it to you, or hoping it becomes available in the West. Higher-priced versions of both Collector’s Editions include deluxe or premium DLC.
