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 detailed what players can look forward to in this first major post-launch update.
The highlight of Title Update 1 is the introduction of the Grand Hub, a new social space designed to enhance player interaction. Within the Grand Hub, players can enjoy a fresh mini-game called Barrel Bowling and experience nighttime performances by the Diva, adding a vibrant touch to the community atmosphere.
A new monster, Mizutsune, a leviathan known for its dangerous bubbles, joins the fray in Monster Hunter Wilds with this update. Alongside Mizutsune, players can tackle the Zoh Shia quest. Additionally, the formidable Arch-tempered Rey Dau will be introduced later through an event quest, promising intense battles.
Title Update 1 also introduces Arena Quests, where players can compete for the fastest completion times, adding a competitive edge to the gameplay. Free content, including classic gestures from the series, will be available to all players. Additionally, Cosmetic DLC Pack 1 will be released alongside this update, offering new ways to personalize your hunter.
Looking ahead, Capcom has teased a collaboration with an unannounced Capcom game set to arrive at the end of May. A second title update for Wilds is slated for the summer, with early glimpses of a new monster stirring anticipation among the community.
While PC gamers were hopeful for news on performance improvements following some concerns at launch, the showcase did not address these issues. However, the updates and new content promise to keep the community engaged as Monster Hunter Wilds continues to evolve.
