Capcom has exciting news for Monster Hunter Wilds fans: Title Update 1 is set to launch on Thursday, April 3 Pacific Time, and April 4 UK time. In a recent showcase video, Capcom not only confirmed the release date but also unveiled what players can look forward to in this significant post-launch update.
The highlight of Title Update 1 is the introduction of the Grand Hub, a new social space where players can engage in unique interactions. This hub will be the setting for a new mini-game, Barrel Bowling, and will also feature nightly performances by the Diva, adding a vibrant atmosphere to your downtime in the game.
Adding to the excitement, Title Update 1 brings Mizutsune, a leviathan monster known for its dangerous bubbles, along with a Zoh Shia quest. Players can also look forward to the arrival of Arch-tempered Rey Dau via an event quest later on.
Competitive players will be thrilled with the introduction of Arena Quests, allowing them to vie for the fastest completion times. Title Update 1 also includes free content for all players, such as classic gestures from the series. Alongside the update, Cosmetic DLC Pack 1 will be available for those looking to customize their appearance.
Looking ahead, Capcom teased a collaboration with an unannounced Capcom game set to join Monster Hunter Wilds at the end of May. Additionally, a second title update is slated for the summer, featuring the introduction of a new monster, giving players even more to anticipate.
While PC gamers have expressed concerns about performance issues since the game's launch, the showcase did not address these concerns, leaving PC players hoping for improvements in future updates.
As Monster Hunter Wilds continues to evolve, Capcom is setting the stage for a series of updates that promise to keep the game fresh and engaging. For a comprehensive overview of everything announced, check out IGN's detailed coverage of the Monster Hunter Wilds Title Update 1 showcase.
