With *Monster Hunter Wilds* launching February 28th, the clock is ticking on pre-order bonuses! But are these bonuses enough to justify a pre-order? Let's break down the pre-order incentives and available editions to help you decide.

Which Platforms Offer *Monster Hunter Wilds*?

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

This latest installment keeps the series' signature open-world exploration and monster slaying. Prepare to face colossal creatures, including the fearsome Uth Duna and the returning Rathalos.

Every *Monster Hunter Wilds* Pre-Order Bonus

Pre-ordering Monster Hunter Wilds before February 28th unlocks 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 certain situations.
