Late last year, Capcom hosted a beta for their upcoming Monster Hunter Wilds – amassing more than half a million concurrent players on Steam alone. With the game just one month out from release, it seems the hype has reached an all-time high, as Monster Hunter Wilds has now become the most wishlisted upcoming game on the platform.

Going to Steam’s ‘most wishlisted’ section sees Capcom’s upcoming Monster Hunter Wilds sitting pretty in first place, overtaking the years long hype for Hollow Knight Silksong as well as Valve’s upcoming multiplayer project Deadlock. Rounding out the top 5 are Civilization VII and Elden Ring Nightreign.

Ever since the release of Monster Hunter World back in 2017, the franchise has quickly grown to become one of Capcom’s biggest, with the aforementioned World becoming the publisher's best selling game of all time at more than 20 million copies sold – and its follow-up ‘Rise’ taking second place with 16 million sales.

Given the ever-increasing hype and awareness for the Monster Hunter franchise, Capcom could have a record breaking hit on their hands when Wilds releases on the 28th of February.
