Mollie spent her early childhood deeply invested in games like Killer Instinct, Toontown and Audition Online, which continue to form the pillars of her personality today. She joined PC Gamer in 2020 as a news writer and now lends her expertise to write a wealth of features, guides and reviews with a dash of chaos.
Stepping onto the Gamescom showroom floor this year, I had no idea what the game of the moment would be for its 300,000 attendees. Some absolute bangers showed up with their grand thematic booths: Civilization 7 had a giant Roman building, knights fought in the Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 booth, and a floor-to-ceiling inflatable Goku looming over the numerous Dragon Ball Sparking! Zero demo stations.
If you'd asked me eight years ago if I'd ever seen Monster Hunter hit the mainstream, I would've said"absolutely not." The games had their fans, sure, but I'd always considered it one of the more niche series I enjoyed. Of course, World totally changed that in 2018, and standing adjacent to the ever-growing crowd was a stark reminder of how many hunters have joined the fray in the years since its release.
The intense popularity earned Wilds its share of accolades during the Gamescom awards. It came away with four awards in total—for Most Entertaining, Most Epic, Best Sony PlayStation Game, and Best Trailer. That was every category it was nominated for, by the way, meaning it managed to take home every trophy possible.
