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 captivating 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.
A key feature of Title Update 1 is the introduction of the Grand Hub, a vibrant new gathering place designed to enhance player interaction. Here, adventurers can enjoy a fresh mini-game called Barrel Bowling and soak in the ambiance as the Diva performs live at night.
The update also introduces the Mizutsune, a leviathan monster known for its dangerous bubbles, into the world of Monster Hunter Wilds. Alongside Mizutsune, players can embark on a Zoh Shia quest. Additionally, the fearsome Arch-tempered Rey Dau will make its entrance through a special event quest later on.
Competitive players will be thrilled with the new Arena Quests, where the challenge is to achieve the fastest completion times. Title Update 1 also brings a host of free content for all players, including beloved classic gestures from the series. To top it off, Cosmetic DLC Pack 1 will launch simultaneously with this update, offering new ways to customize your hunter's look.
Looking ahead, Capcom has teased a collaboration with another unannounced Capcom game set to arrive at the end of May. Furthermore, a second title update is slated for the summer, featuring the introduction of a new monster to the fray.
While PC gamers were eager for news on performance enhancements, the showcase did not address these concerns, leaving some anticipation for future updates.
As Monster Hunter Wilds continues to captivate players worldwide with its launch success, Title Update 1 sets the stage for a series of exciting content releases. For more in-depth information, check out IGN's comprehensive coverage of the Monster Hunter Wilds Title Update 1 showcase.
