Monster Hunter Wilds Has Less Large Monsters Than Rise And World

BBG News

Summary

  • Monster Hunter Wilds has launched with 29 large monsters, including 20 brand-new ones.
  • That puts it a bit behind World and Rise, with launched with 37 and 46 large monsters respectively.
  • That’s not too surprising considering how much detail each monster has, but it is noticeable.

At its debut, Monster Hunter Wilds featured only 29 giant creatures compared to the number of large beasts available for hunting in World and Rise when they first came out.

It’s likely unnecessary for me to point out, given that it forms part of the title itself, but what makes Monster Hunter so appealing is its diverse array of monsters. This series features numerous legendary creatures to fight and transform into equipment, with each installment introducing new beasts while reintroducing some favorites.

Since Monster Hunter World initially promised an exhilarating shift with its intricate details and expansive universe, gamers like me have been curious about the variety of beasts we’d encounter. Now that the game has launched to a massive player base, it turns out that our suspicions were well-founded, and the numbers are quite astonishing!

Wilds Has Less Large Monsters At Launch Than World And Especially Rise

As a devoted fan, I must say that upon its debut, Monster Hunter Rise offers an initial lineup of 29 formidable beasts to conquer. Among them, there are no less than 20 fresh faces, newly created by Capcom, and nine familiar foes making a comeback from past adventures. The influx of new monsters is truly commendable given the sheer depth that Capcom has infused into other aspects of the game. However, it’s worth noting that this number slightly lags behind the last two installments in terms of the number of brand-new creatures introduced.

As a devoted fan, I’d like to compare the number of colossal beasts you can hunt between Monster Hunter World and Monster Hunter Rise. To be precise, World debuted with approximately 37 formidable monsters, give or take a few based on your interpretation. That’s almost a whole 10 more than Wilds. However, when Rise was introduced, it boasted an astounding 46 large monsters – a significant 17 more than the latest installment in the series!

The addition of the Iceborne expansion globally increased the total to 71 monsters, and with Sunbreak’s inclusions, Rise concluded at 78 large creatures. This might make The Wilds seem somewhat limited, but it’s only the beginning.

Despite appearing to trigger alarm, it’s important to remember that additional large monsters are expected to arrive soon as free post-launch updates. Given that Wilds features more intricate monsters in terms of gameplay and design, it’s understandable that the current number is slightly lower than in previous games.

Despite Wilds being less challenging compared to past Monster Hunter games due to fewer formidable monsters, fans may find the current selection lacking until further updates are released. However, players can still appreciate the variety of new characters they’re destroying for rewarding new armor sets in the meantime.
