With *Monster Hunter Wilds* on the horizon (February 28th!), now's your last chance to secure those coveted pre-order bonuses. But is the pre-order rush worth it? Let's break down the bonuses and editions to help you decide.

Which Platforms Offer *Monster Hunter Wilds*?

Monster Hunter Wilds, the latest addition to Capcom's monster-hunting saga, arrives February 28th on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC. It's skipping the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch, likely due to the demanding nature of the game. A Nintendo Switch 2 release remains a possibility, but there's no official word yet.

This latest installment continues the series' tradition of expansive open worlds teeming with a diverse range of monsters. Prepare to face colossal beasts, including the terrifying Uth Duna and the returning menace, Rathalos.

Every Pre-Order Bonus for *Monster Hunter Wilds*

Pre-ordering Monster Hunter Wilds before February 28th (hurry!) nets you these bonuses:

• Hunter Layered Armor Set
• Guild Knight Talisman
• Hope Charm

While Capcom hasn't detailed the Hope Charm's effects, past games suggest a stat boost. While not game-breaking, it could provide a helpful edge in specific situations.

Early Reactions to *Monster Hunter Wilds*

While full reviews are pending, early previews and beta feedback paint a positive picture. IGN highlights the impressive monster variety and detailed environments, while PCGamesN calls it an evolution rather than a revolution (a good thing, given World's success). Eurogamer praises its streamlined, beginner-friendly design, and GamesRadar found the gameplay immediately engaging. IGN's recent preview notes significant performance improvements over the beta. Another open beta runs February 7-10 and February 14-17.

Ultimately, the decision on which edition—if any—to pre-order depends on your budget and desire for bonus content. Don't delay if you want those pre-order goodies!
