Summary
- Capcom acknowledges credit error in Monster Hunter Wilds, promising correction in Free Title Update
- Despite success, Capcom has been fixing various issues in Monster Hunter Wilds through updates.
Capcom has recently acknowledged that it made an error in the credits of the recent Monster Hunter Wilds, incorrectly attributing one role to the wrong voice actor. While mistakes in a game’s credits are not entirely unusual, it’s also not very common for a company to come forward and apologize for the error, like the Monster Hunter Wilds team did.
Monster Hunter Wilds was released in February, and it received glowing reviews from most critics. While some fans criticized Monster Hunter Wilds for being too easy, the title has been praised for its satisfying combat. The game was also a huge commercial hit, as Monster Hunter Wilds became Capcom’s fastest-selling title, selling over eight million units in only three days.
Monster Hunter Wilds' World is Even More Connected Than You Might Realize
One Monster Hunter Wilds players shares just how interconnected the map actually is, revealing surprising details about how massive it is.
Now, Capcom has publicly acknowledged via a Monster Hunter social media account that the game currently has a mistake in its credits. The voice of the character Roqul in Azuz has been credited to the wrong voice actor instead of Ben Balmaceda, who played the role. In the social media post, Capcom apologized for the mistake and promised that the credits would be corrected with the Free Title Update 1, which will be out early in April. While it’s somewhat disheartening to see this kind of mistake in one of the most anticipated games of 2025, it’s at least reassuring to see that these problems have been identified and will be corrected soon.
Monster Hunter Wilds Devs Acknowledge Mistake in Credits
The Free Title Update 1 will be the first major update that the game will receive, but since the title’s release, Capcom has been fixing several of the problems that Monster Hunter Wilds had. Monster Hunter Wilds already unveiled the patch notes for an update earlier this month, which listed a few issues that would be corrected in the popular action RPG. Some of these glitches included Meal Invitations that were not occurring for sme people, cases of gamers finding floating rubble while exploring the world, and one game-breaking issue with the “Omens” Mission in Chapter 5-1 that prevented players from completing it.
Despite these missteps, it’s impossible to deny how successful Monster Hunter Wilds has been since its release. Likely due to this success, the senior producer of the game, Ryozo Tsujimoto, has recently been promoted to Chief Product Officer at Capcom. When talking about what some are calling " the golden age of Capcom," Tsujimoto said that the team will keep working hard so that this era can last for longer.
