Capcom is currently looking into a critical issue that is affecting player progress in the popular game Monster Hunter Wilds. Numerous players have reported encountering a significant roadblock during Main Mission: Chapter 5-2, titled A World Turned Upside Down. In this mission, a crucial non-playable character (NPC) is failing to spawn at the expected location, effectively halting all campaign advancement for affected players.
In a recent update shared via social media, Capcom acknowledged the ongoing issue, stating: "Hunters, we are currently investigating the following issue. There may be cases where an NPC does not appear, disabling story progression in Main Mission: Chapter 5-2 A World Turned Upside Down." The developer is actively working to resolve these problems and has promised to provide further updates as more information becomes available.
As of now, there has been no official timeline regarding when this issue might be fixed. However, players can take comfort in the fact that Capcom has been addressing various issues promptly over the weekend. For example, a recent hotfix patch has already been deployed to resolve problems related to the Smithy and the Grill a Meal features. Players are advised to ensure that they have the latest updates installed before diving back into the game to guarantee a smoother experience.
Monster Hunter Wilds has garnered impressive success, surpassing the milestone of 1 million concurrent players on Steam. This surge in popularity reflects the game's engaging mechanics and the vibrant community that has developed around it. Players who enjoy customizing their characters will be pleased to know that they can modify their hunter's appearance once for free. However, any significant changes to gender or body shape beyond this initial alteration will require a purchase.
The game has also received favorable reviews, with Eurogamer's Monster Hunter Wilds review awarding it a score of 4 out of 5. Reviewer Matt praised the game, stating: "Wilds remains an exhilarating piece of work - so refined, so alive, so giddily, chaotically joyful when it all comes together that it feels like the ultimate culmination of everything the series has been working toward over the last two decades." This sentiment reflects the game's ability to deliver a thrilling experience while maintaining the core elements that fans have come to love.
As Monster Hunter Wilds continues its legacy, the potential for generous post-launch support remains a topic of interest. Fans are eager to see how this new installment develops, especially given the series' history of embracing creativity and indulging in its more whimsical aspects.
