Capcom was previously scheduled to hold a CEDEC panel anchored in Monster Hunter Wilds and explaining "everything you need to know about optimization," as Automaton reports, but the talk has now been canceled amid ongoing, orbiting concerns.

There are two important pieces of context here. Firstly, just days ago Capcom issued a (Japanese) statement addressing harassment directed at its staff, and while specifics were scarce, there's little room for doubt that Capcom was indirectly talking about angry Monster Hunter Wilds players launching personal attacks or threats.
