The regular Monster Hunter Wilds Collector’s Edition comes with a gorgeous steelbook case containing a PS5 copy of the game, a fluffy baby seikret plush, and a small pouch styled after the game’s weapon bags - alongside in-game bonuses from the digital deluxe versions.

Should you upgrade to the Ultra Collector’s Edition, then you’ll also get a bike. An actual bike. One that you can ride in the real world, for some reason. As far as I’m aware, bikes and Monster Hunter don’t have a long history. Maybe Capcom wants you to ride away from the monsters in your own life, or even take a break from grinding endlessly to, I dunno, catch some fresh air.

Either way, the folding bike weighs almost 10 kilograms and has 16-inch wheels, “which supports the movement of hunters,” according to the publisher’swebsite. The Ultra Collector’s Edition will retail for a whopping ¥181,590 (or roughly $1,260), though it hasn’t been confirmed to release anywhere other than Japan.

Monster Hunter Wilds will be releasing worldwide on February 28 on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.

Monster Hunter Wilds took over five years to make partly because Monster Hunter World blew up so much, and Capcom had to figure out what all these news fans wanted.
