History

Historical Context

Capcom's "Monster Hunter" series began in 2004, targeting Japanese gamers with cooperative gameplay. Initially, it struggled in Western markets due to cultural differences and a steep learning curve. However, "Monster Hunter: World" (2018) successfully appealed to global audiences, selling over 21 million copies. The upcoming "Monster Hunter Wilds" aims to build on this success, further expanding the franchise's international reach.
