Capcom has exciting news for fans of Monster Hunter Wilds: Title Update 1 is set to launch on Thursday, April 3 Pacific Time, and April 4 UK time. In a detailed showcase video, Capcom not only confirmed the release date but also unveiled what players can anticipate from this major post-launch update.
The highlight of Title Update 1 is the introduction of the Grand Hub, a new social space where players can engage with each other in fresh and exciting ways. This hub introduces a fun mini-game, Barrel Bowling, and nighttime performances by the Diva, adding a vibrant atmosphere to the game.
The update also brings the Mizutsune, a leviathan monster known for its dangerous bubbles, to Monster Hunter Wilds, alongside a Zoh Shia quest. Players can look forward to facing the Arch-tempered Rey Dau in a future event quest.
Competitive players will be thrilled with the introduction of Arena Quests, where the challenge is to complete missions in the fastest time possible. Title Update 1 comes packed with free content for all players, including classic gestures from the series. Additionally, Cosmetic DLC Pack 1 will launch simultaneously with this update, offering new ways to customize your character.
Looking ahead, Capcom teased a collaboration with an unannounced Capcom game set to arrive in Monster Hunter Wilds at the end of May. A second title update is scheduled for the summer, with a sneak peek revealing the arrival of a new monster.
While PC gamers were hoping for updates on performance improvements following some concerns at the game's launch, the showcase did not address these issues directly.
