The action-packed RPG was always popular, but lately, more people are enjoying World than they have been in years. If you're wondering why Monster Hunter: World is on the rise again, we have the answers you seek. Why is Monster Hunter: World so popular in 2024? Now's a great time to jump back into World. Image via Capcom World is so popular right now because the next game in the series, Monster Hunter: Wilds, was revealed at The Game Awards in December 2023. Wilds won't come out until 2025, so in the meantime, Capcom launched a campaign to reinvigorate community interest in Monster: Hunter World. Posting on X, formerly Twitter, on Dec. 11, Capcom said \"it's time to relive the hunts & journey we've taken since 2018 as we look forward to the next generation,\" and shared the #ReturntoWorld hashtag. World was also discounted to just $10 during the Steam Winter Sale. Following the Game Awards announcement, X post, and seasonal price cut, Monster Hunter: World's player count massively shot up on Steam. At the time of writing, World is enjoying a 24-hour peak of over 136,000 players---three times the November player count. Monster Hunter: Wilds looks like a big step up over 2018's World. You can ride mounts, carry two weapons at once, and even glide, and it looks like Wilds boasts a world that's far more open than its predecessors. Fan reactions to the trailer were overwhelmingly positive, so it's not surprising players are hungry for more monster-hunting action. If you're among them, World is absolutely still worth playing in 2024, so I wholeheartedly recommend that you give it a go.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Monster-Hunter-World-key-art.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1082461"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2277"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1082461"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1082461\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1085720,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1082461\/revisions\/1085720"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1082484"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1082461"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1082461"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1082461"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1082461"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1082461"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1082461"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1082461"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

The action-packed RPG was always popular, but lately, more people are enjoying World than they have been in years. If you're wondering why Monster Hunter: World is on the rise again, we have the answers you seek. Why is Monster Hunter: World so popular in 2024? Now's a great time to jump back into World. Image via Capcom World is so popular right now because the next game in the series, Monster Hunter: Wilds, was revealed at The Game Awards in December 2023. Wilds won't come out until 2025, so in the meantime, Capcom launched a campaign to reinvigorate community interest in Monster: Hunter World. Posting on X, formerly Twitter, on Dec. 11, Capcom said \"it's time to relive the hunts & journey we've taken since 2018 as we look forward to the next generation,\" and shared the #ReturntoWorld hashtag. World was also discounted to just $10 during the Steam Winter Sale. Following the Game Awards announcement, X post, and seasonal price cut, Monster Hunter: World's player count massively shot up on Steam. At the time of writing, World is enjoying a 24-hour peak of over 136,000 players---three times the November player count. Monster Hunter: Wilds looks like a big step up over 2018's World. You can ride mounts, carry two weapons at once, and even glide, and it looks like Wilds boasts a world that's far more open than its predecessors. Fan reactions to the trailer were overwhelmingly positive, so it's not surprising players are hungry for more monster-hunting action. If you're among them, World is absolutely still worth playing in 2024, so I wholeheartedly recommend that you give it a go.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Monster-Hunter-World-key-art.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1082461"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2277"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1082461"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1082461\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1085720,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1082461\/revisions\/1085720"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1082484"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1082461"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1082461"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1082461"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1082461"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1082461"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1082461"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1082461"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
