The hype around Monster Hunter Wilds remains unabated even after its launch, with players still flocking to it, despite a few optimization issues being reported. Just within the last day, the game has attracted close to four hundred thousand players on PC, as per SteamDB.

The latest addition to this beloved series has been a massive success, selling an astounding eight million copies in its inaugural weekend alone! As per Circana’s reports, it has already established itself as the top-selling game of 2025 thus far. Be prepared for some intriguing discoveries in the world of Monster Hunter Wilds!

Monster Hunter Wilds newest mod is nightmare fuel, thanks Reddit

Moving on from the praises, let’s discuss Monster Hunter Wilds. It’s an outstanding game, but given its popularity in the PC gaming community, it won’t be long before the modding scene gets a bit excessive, as seen by some posts on the Monster Hunter subreddit. One such mod replaces the head and arms of the challenging monster Arkveld with those of Nata, the young character from the main storyline. While some attribute the game’s success to its narrative, others find it to be a weakness. For a deeper understanding, feel free to check out our review of Monster Hunter Wilds for our perspective. Regardless of personal opinions about the story and its characters, these images are undeniably chilling.

Indeed, these images aren’t designed to appear appealing or even necessary, but that doesn’t deter modders. The static depictions of Nata’s face are disconcerting, with the neck appearing to bend at strange angles and the expression seemingly shifting between agony, shock, or rage. It can be hard to discern the exact emotion. A commenter reacted to the post with a gif showcasing the mod in motion, which prompted other viewers to exclaim, “OH MY GOODNESS, IT’S EVEN MORE DISTURBING WHEN IT MOVES,” in all caps.

Currently, at the time of composition, the Reddit post has amassed more than 7,000 upvotes and over 500 comments, propelling it to the summit of the Monster Hunter page. The question of how many individuals will find the courage to download this new mod is a separate matter entirely.

Discussions about developers’ attitudes towards mods have been quite intriguing recently. Some game creators deliberately choose not to launch their games on PC to steer clear of the modding community. In stark contrast, titles such as Baldur’s Gate 3 have warmly welcomed and even actively supported modding, even going as far as endorsing a bizarre Withers mod. Given the massive popularity of Monster Hunter Wilds, it’s likely we’ll see more mods appearing in the future. It will be fascinating to observe Capcom’s reaction if they decide to address this issue at all.
