Monster Hunter Wilds $1300 collector’s edition in Japan comes with a bike

videogameschronicle.com:

Capcom has announced an Ultra Collector’s Edition for Monster Hunter Wilds, which comes with a bike.

The Monster Hunter Wilds Ultra Collector’s Edition is seemingly exclusive to Japan and includes a Monster Hunter-themed folding bike. It will retail for ¥181,590 ($1,260).

It also includes a baby Seikret plush, a pouch designed to look like a Weapon Bag from the game, a Steelbook and a PS5 copy of the game.

This version also includes the Hunter Layered Armour, Hope Charm and other bonuses that are available in the Deluxe version of the game.

It’s currently unknown if the bundle will be made available outside of Japan.

Monster Hunter Wilds will be released on February 28, 2025. The release date was confirmed during the latest PlayStation State of Play presentation.

Initially announced at The Game Awards last December, the game is the sixth mainline installment in the popular Monster Hunter series.

VGC’s recent Monster Hunter Wilds hands-on preview says the game “is shaping up to be the series’ best yet”, despite performance issues in the preview build we played.

“The whole experience was fantastic, and the only real downer was the aforementioned performance,” we wrote. “We’ve never seen dynamic resolution drop so drastically – at one point, we were in a cave where lots of action was going on, and everything got almost comically blurry and pixelated. Again, though, this is the sort of thing that Capcom has time to remedy, and almost certainly will.

“It’s the new features that will ultimately define Monster Hunter Wilds when it’s released sometime next year, and based on this early look, it would take an unforeseen disaster of Zorah Magdaros proportions to prevent it from becoming a series high point.”
