Monster Hunter Wilds has received its first trailer at State of Play.

This company is known for releasing several versions of its games in physical format, which encourages fans to purchase them. Users praised Capcom for taking this initiative and continuing to invest in the physical format.

Many players took the opportunity to express how much they like this format and how they will continue to buy games on disc. Resident Evil and Monster Hunter achieved millions of sales, many of which were physical.

The company published all the discussions from this investor meeting, outlining its future plans for its graphics engine, its expected growth, and other business aspects.

It seems that this company will have excellent years with various major IP releases. There are even rumors of a new Resident Evil that will be part of the main saga.

However, Monster Hunter Wilds has already received confirmation, and based on the two released trailers, it appears to be significantly larger than World, exhibiting a scale unprecedented in the franchise.

This particular saga was something Capcom couldn’t make popular, as it seemed more niche, but they managed to transform the game into something much more accessible to a broader audience. This IP has truly captivated its fans.
