As is the case with a lot of other modern video game releases, players will be able to choose between several different versions of Monster Hunter Wilds. In addition to the standard digital version, there are deluxe and premium deluxe editions, the latter of which will set players back more than 50% more than the cost of the standard release.
Monster Hunter Wilds FAQ
It's been a while since we've seen a new core console entry in the Monster Hunter series, but Wilds is right around the corner.
Given this somewhat excessive price tag, many franchise fans will likely be wondering whether it is really worth buying the premium deluxe edition of Monster Hunter Wilds. The answer to that question may vary a little from person to person, most will likely fall firmly on one particular side of the fence due to the nature of the content that's included with it.
Is Monster Hunter Wilds Premium Deluxe Edition Worth Buying?
Although some may find value in it, the premium deluxe edition of Monster Hunter Wilds will probably not be worth it for most players. This is because pretty much all of the bonus content that's on offer is cosmetic, meaning that there's no extra playable content included. One of the only non-cosmetic items that comes with the premium deluxe edition of Monster Hunter Wilds is a 2025 re-recording of Proof of a Hero, which is already available on YouTube free of charge.
All Monster Hunter Wilds Premium Deluxe Edition Content
As mentioned above, pretty much all of the premium deluxe edition content for Monster Hunter Wilds is cosmetic in nature. Players will receive the Deluxe Pack that comes with the deluxe edition of Monster Hunter Wilds, three premium bonuses, and two special cosmetic packs, which are expected to be released in the spring and summer of 2025 respectively. There are also a few music tracks.
