In 2018, Capcom’s release of Monster Hunter World marked their most successful game to date, both commercially and critically. The action RPG garnered widespread praise and multiple awards. This outstanding achievement sparked immense anticipation for its successor, Monster Hunter Rise, announced in December 2023. When the developers held the open beta testing, which commenced in October 2024 on Steam, a massive influx of Monster Hunter fans joined in. With the game’s official release, that number has swelled even more, quickly surpassing one million within a short timeframe.
