Capcom has officially announced that the first major post-launch update for Monster Hunter Wilds, titled Update 1, will be released on Thursday, April 3rd Pacific Time, and April 4th UK time. This exciting update brings a host of new content and features to the game, which was detailed in a recent showcase video.
The highlight of Title Update 1 is the introduction of the Grand Hub, a new social area where players can engage in various activities. One such activity is the new mini-game, Barrel Bowling, and players can also enjoy nightly performances by the Diva. Alongside these social enhancements, Title Update 1 introduces the Mizutsune, a leviathan monster known for its hazardous bubbles, and a new Zoh Shia quest. Later, players can take on the Arch-tempered Rey Dau via an event quest.
Competitive players will be thrilled to know that Arena Quests, which challenge players to achieve the fastest completion times, will be available with this update. All players can look forward to free content, including classic gestures from the series. Additionally, Cosmetic DLC Pack 1 will launch concurrently with Title Update 1, offering new customization options.
Looking ahead, Capcom teased a collaboration with an unannounced Capcom game set to arrive at the end of May in Monster Hunter Wilds. Furthermore, a second title update is scheduled for the summer, which will introduce a new monster, providing players with even more content to explore.
While PC gamers were hopeful for news on performance improvements for Monster Hunter Wilds, as there were numerous concerns at the game's launch, the showcase did not address this issue.
Monster Hunter Wilds has seen significant success since its launch, and with Title Update 1, Capcom is setting the stage for future content updates. For those eager to dive deeper, IGN offers a comprehensive roundup of everything announced during the Monster Hunter Wilds Title Update 1 showcase.
