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 unveiled the release date and 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 new social space where players can engage in unique interactions. Here, you can enjoy a new mini-game called Barrel Bowling and experience live performances by the Diva at night, adding a fresh layer of entertainment to the game.
The update also introduces the Mizutsune, a leviathan monster known for its dangerous bubbles, along with a Zoh Shia quest. Additionally, players can look forward to the arrival of Arch-tempered Rey Dau through a later event quest.
Competitive players will be thrilled with the launch of Arena Quests, allowing them to compete for the fastest completion times. Title Update 1 brings free content for all players, including classic gestures from the series. Alongside the update, Cosmetic DLC Pack 1 will also be available.
Looking ahead, Capcom teased a collaboration with an unannounced Capcom game set to arrive at the end of May, and a second title update planned for the summer, featuring a new monster. While PC gamers were hoping for news on performance improvements, no such updates were mentioned in the showcase.
As Monster Hunter Wilds continues to captivate players with its latest developments, Capcom sets the stage for an engaging future. For a comprehensive overview, check out IGN's detailed roundup of the Monster Hunter Wilds Title Update 1 showcase.
