Capcom has recently escalated its response to growing player discontent surrounding Monster Hunter Wilds, threatening legal action against what the company terms 'customer harassment.' The developer's strong stance comes amid sustained criticism of the game's technical performance and endgame content.

Since its record-breaking February 2025 launch, Monster Hunter Wilds has sold over 10 million copies but faced increasing backlash. Performance issues, bugs, and perceived lack of post-game content have driven some players back to previous franchise titles while others have taken to online platforms to voice their frustrations.

On July 4, Capcom released an official statement addressing what it describes as unacceptable behavior toward its employees. While acknowledging fan feedback as valuable for game improvement, the company drew a clear line against harassment through social media and customer support channels.

The Japanese gaming giant cited Japan's Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare guidelines in formulating its response, which may include legal action or service refusal to abusive customers. This move follows similar anti-harassment policies recently implemented by Square Enix.
