Capcom's Monster Hunter franchise, celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2024, roars back in 2025 with Monster Hunter Wilds. The series, spanning multiple console generations, achieved new heights with Monster Hunter World (2018) and Monster Hunter Rise (2021), Capcom's two best-selling titles ever.
Monster Hunter Wilds, launching February 28th, prompts a retrospective look at the franchise's key installments.
The Monster Hunter Universe: A Comprehensive Overview
While over 25 Monster Hunter games exist (including spin-offs and mobile titles), this list focuses on the 12 most significant entries, excluding mobile, arcade, and defunct MMO releases. Monster Hunter Diary: Poka Poka Airou Village is also omitted.

The Monster Hunter series lacks a continuous narrative; beginners can choose any entry. For newcomers in 2025, consider waiting for Monster Hunter Wilds reviews. Alternatively, Monster Hunter World (emphasizing exploration) or Monster Hunter Rise (prioritizing speed and fluidity) are excellent starting points.
