Off the back ofMonster Hunter Wilds' reveal last week,Capcomis kicking off a campaign to revive Monster Hunter World’s online scene.

“Return to World is a celebration of Monster Hunter World, as we welcome new players who join us in the sale, and re-live an epic journey with those of you that have previously set out from Astera and adventured through the Ancient Forest and beyond…” Capcom writes on Steam.

I should point out that Capcom skipping over the more recent Monster Hunter Rise and going all the way back to World tells us something about Wilds. Capcom clearly considers Wilds a follow-up to World, rather than Rise, and this might be a good or bad thing depending on who you ask. Some Monster Hunter players before the more modern World, while others prefer the more traditional Rise.

Looking elsewhere for the forthcoming game,Monster Hunter Wilds fans are convinced it’s going fully open-world, which would be a huge gameplay shift for the decades-old series. Taking multiple biomes with their own distinct monsters and putting them on the same map is going to be a tough challenge if that’s what Capcom really is doing.
