Monster Hunter Wilds news gave World a surprising second wind

Somewhat unexpectedly, the recent Monster Hunter Wilds reveal at The Game Awards has sent players back into the arms of Monster Hunter World. Perhaps because Wilds won't be out until sometime in 2025, players itching to hunt some monsters have all flocked to World.

There is, of course, another reason why players have returned to the New World in droves.

Following the Wilds announcement, Capcom kicked off a new Return to Monster Hunter World campaign. This isn't a new update, or really any sort of new content; just a concentrated effort to get players to jump back into the best-selling game.
