Mon Feb 24 15:20:00 UTC 2025: ## Monster Hunter Wilds Pre-Loads Begin; West Coast Gets Early Access
**Los Angeles, CA** – Get ready to hunt! Capcom has announced global preload times for the highly anticipated *Monster Hunter Wilds*, launching Friday, February 28th. Players can now pre-load the game to avoid lengthy downloads on launch day.
While specific regional launch times will be re-announced closer to release, the West Coast will enjoy a head start, with access beginning Thursday, February 27th, in Los Angeles and Mexico City. This means some players will have several hours of gameplay before the official launch in other regions.
*Monster Hunter Wilds* is poised to be one of the biggest game releases of the year, potentially surpassing even anticipated titles like the next Call of Duty and the long-awaited Fable and Grand Theft Auto 6, which are speculated to be delayed until 2026. Early testing has yielded overwhelmingly positive feedback.
Capcom encourages players to pre-load *Monster Hunter Wilds* now and prepare for a massive launch.
