Monster Hunter Wilds: All Pre-Order Bonuses and Editions Revealed

With *Monster Hunter Wilds* on the horizon, it's crunch time to decide if you want to secure those pre-order bonuses. Let's break down everything you need to know about the pre-order perks and the various editions of this much-anticipated game.

Which Platforms Is Monster Hunter Wilds Available On?

*Monster Hunter Wilds* is set to launch on February 28 across Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC. Unfortunately, it won't be gracing the Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, or PlayStation 4 due to their hardware limitations. There's speculation about a possible release on the Nintendo Switch 2, but so far, there's no official word on that. Dive into a vast open world, tackle colossal creatures like the deadly Uth Duna, and face off against familiar foes like the dragon-like Rathalos.

Every Pre-Order Bonus For Monster Hunter Wilds

If you pre-order *Monster Hunter Wilds* before the February 28 deadline, you'll snag these bonuses:

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

The Hope Charm's exact effects are a mystery, but if past games are any indication, it'll offer some kind of boost. While it won't make you invincible, it could give you that crucial edge in battle.
