Monster Hunter Wilds lead doesn’t watch what similar action RPGs are doing and the results have “sort of spoken for themselves”

Monster Hunter Wilds‘ lead producer Ryozo Tsujimoto doesn’t pay too much attention to what other, similar games are doing. Making a new Monster Hunter game is enough work already, he says, and focusing on evolving the series’ strengths has worked wonders thus far.

“To be honest, we don’t really keep our eye on other titles when developing Monster Hunter games, it’s already plenty of work thinking about making a Monster Hunter game on its own terms,” Tsujimoto says in an interview with GamesRadar+ celebrating the series’ monstrous two-decade run. “And our approach as the series has progressed through the years really has been on a title by title basis.”
