Capcom has exciting news for fans of Monster Hunter Wilds, with the announcement of Title Update 1, set to launch on Thursday, April 3 Pacific Time, and April 4 UK time. In a showcase video, Capcom not only confirmed the release date but also detailed what players can anticipate from the game's first significant post-launch update.
The highlight of Title Update 1 is the introduction of the Grand Hub, a new social area where players can engage in unique interactions. This hub will feature a new mini-game, Barrel Bowling, and nighttime performances by the Diva, adding a vibrant touch to the player experience.
Alongside the Grand Hub, Title Update 1 brings the Mizutsune, a leviathan monster known for its dangerous bubbles, into Monster Hunter Wilds. Players will also encounter a Zoh Shia quest, and later, an event quest featuring Arch-tempered Rey Dau.
Competitive players will be thrilled with the introduction of Arena Quests, where the challenge is to achieve the fastest completion times. All players can enjoy free content, including classic gestures from the series. Additionally, Cosmetic DLC Pack 1 will be available to enhance your character's appearance.
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 planned for the summer, promising the introduction of a new monster, as hinted in an early glimpse provided by Capcom.
While PC gamers were eager for news on performance improvements, as there were some complaints and concerns during the launch window, the showcase did not address these issues. However, fans can stay updated with IGN's detailed coverage of everything announced during the Monster Hunter Wilds Title Update 1 showcase.
