Capcom's highly anticipated Monster Hunter Wilds, set to revolutionize the franchise, unveils a post-launch content roadmap. Here's a breakdown of the first major update and beyond.
Monster Hunter Wilds Title Update 1: Mizutsune and More
The February 27th launch trailer showcased Title Update 1, featuring the fan-favorite Mizutsune. This aquatic dragon-type monster, known for its bubble-based attacks and striking pink and purple aesthetic, will challenge hunters. The trailer hints at a confrontation with the newcomer Doshaguma, suggesting Mizutsune's signature moveset will remain largely intact. Its in-game location, however, is yet to be revealed.
The update also includes new Event Quests accessible via the in-game Mission Board, offering valuable rewards for completing monster hunts. The exact number of quests remains undisclosed. Further unspecified "additional updates" are planned, possibly addressing optimization or performance issues. Positive beta test feedback suggests a smooth launch is anticipated.
Monster Hunter Wilds Summer Title Update 2 and Beyond
A second Title Update is slated for Summer 2025, introducing another monster (identity currently unknown) and additional Event Quests. Whether this new addition is a franchise newcomer or a returning favorite remains a mystery.
While future content beyond these two updates is unconfirmed, Capcom's commitment to a successful launch suggests further surprises may be in store.
Monster Hunter Wilds launches February 28th on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC. Stay tuned to The Escapist for the latest news and guides, including details on pre-order bonuses and editions.
