If there’s one thing Monster Hunter is known for, it’s the way it presents food – and Wilds just took it to a whole new level. The cooking animations and cutscenes, showcasing different cultures and their cuisines, are so well-done that the entire player base suddenly found itself craving one thing above all else: Cheese Naan.

The cheese craving frenzy started after players encountered a cutscene in Kunafa Village, where the main characters share a meal of Cheese Naan. And that cheese pull… the stretch… the glistening melt… You can practically taste the food just by looking at it. Don’t believe me? Check it out for yourself.

Things escalated in Japan when a restaurant in Tokyo, known for serving this heavenly Cheese Naan, received a staggering 99 orders in a single day – completely running out of cheese.

In the end, they even thanked Monster Hunter for the unexpected sales boost!
