Capcom's highly anticipated Monster Hunter: Wilds arrives early next year on February 28. During this past September 24 Sony State of Play, Monster Hunter: Wilds was among the 20-plus games shown. Another highly anticipated title showcased was the sequel to Ghost of Tsushima.
February can’t come soon enough, still, if you're rig isn't quite ready, then it’s the right amount of time for you to prepare. Capcom unveiled the minimum and recommended PC specifications so we can play Wilds flawlessly. Spoiler alert: It is looking pretty demanding.
