Capcom has announced the cancellation of a lecture focused on the optimization of Monster Hunter Wilds at the CEDEC 2025 conference in Japan. This decision is speculated to be linked to harassment and threats faced by the development team due to criticisms regarding the PC version of Monster Hunter Wilds. The cancelation came after the release of Title Update 2, which sought to address performance issues and include new content. Capcom has acknowledged facing harassment via social media channels and committed to consider legal action against severe threats. While feedback is crucial for improvement, the extreme actions directed at the developers are harmful and counterproductive to the game’s progress.
