System Requirements for Monster Hunter Wilds

On February 28th, 2025, Capcom unleashed *Monster Hunter Wilds*, a game that quickly captivated millions. The online player numbers speak for themselves (see screenshot below).

I'm personally hooked. The graphics are stunning, the monster battles epic, the food (yes, the *food*) delicious, and the gear and weapons equally impressive. This article will briefly cover the game and its system requirements.

What is the Project About?

Let's be honest, the story is… predictable. But that's not why people play *Monster Hunter*. While the protagonist finally speaks, the dialogue feels a bit AI-generated, a fact that persists throughout all six in-game chapters.

The real draw is the intense, thrilling monster hunts. The game casts you (as a customizable male or female character) as part of an expedition to unexplored lands, sparked by the discovery of a child named Nata in the desert. This seemingly uninhabited area holds a dark secret: Nata is the sole survivor of a tribe attacked by a mysterious creature, the "White Ghost."

While the narrative is more structured than previous entries, offering more world detail, it's still not the game's main focus. The game often restricts player freedom, forcing a linear progression that can feel tiresome after about ten hours of gameplay.

The campaign takes approximately 15-20 hours to complete. For those prioritizing hunting and freedom, the story might feel like a hurdle. Thankfully, most dialogue and cutscenes are skippable.

Hunting itself has been streamlined. Visible wounds appear on monsters; hitting these wounds with specific button presses deals massive damage and yields parts, now automatically collected. This simplification enhances the gameplay experience.

New rideable companions, Seikret, offer significant advantages. They automatically sprint to targets, and even rescue you if you fall, skipping lengthy recovery animations. This is a huge help, especially during low-health situations.

Seikret also handles navigation, eliminating the need to constantly check the map. Fast travel is also readily available via the camp tent icon.

While health bars are absent, your companion will announce a monster's status. Monsters utilize the environment strategically, and some even form packs. However, both AI and online players can be summoned for assistance, even in solo mode.
