Capcom has released a major update for Monster Hunter Wilds, bringing a wide range of new content that refreshes the experience after launch. Title Update Monster Hunter Wilds (Update 1), launched in April 2025, adds new monsters, gameplay systems, and seasonal events. These additions expand the endgame and offer more to explore. Whether you're completing your bestiary or starting out, this update provides clear improvements and engaging new challenges.

The Grand Hub introduces a new area that serves as the core for post-game activities. It includes:

• Barrel Bowling and arm wrestling as side games

• A music stage with regular performances

• Merchants and NPCs offering unique items

You can access the Grand Hub once you reach Hunter Rank 16. It is a lively place where players can prepare for hunts, trade gear, and take on quests. Interactive details in the space give players reasons to keep coming back.

Title Update Monster Hunter Wilds adds three new monsters, each offering unique battles and new materials:

Mizutsune

This elegant creature returns with its bubble-based moves that disrupt visibility and movement. Players with HR 21 or higher can face Mizutsune by starting a questline in the Scarlet Forest.

Zoh Shia

Zoh Shia, once limited to a story event, now appears as a high-rank hunt. Available for players at HR 50 and above, the fight includes repeatable quests and unlocks rare armor resources.

Arch-tempered Rey Dau

A tougher version of the flagship monster, Arch-tempered Rey Dau comes with increased attack power. This event-only hunt drops Gamma armor, available for a limited time.

Arena Quests give players a chance to test their skills in preset conditions. These include:

• Challenge Quests : Fixed gear and set monsters with strict time limits.

• Free Challenge Quests : Compete globally and compare times on leaderboards.

Players who perform well can earn pendants and see their names ranked. These quests add a new reason to refine strategies and optimize gear use.

This update introduces more ways to personalize your gameplay:

• Alma Outfits : Customize the handler Alma's appearance at camp.

• Cosmetic DLC Pack 1 : New layered armor, emotes, and stickers are now available.

These updates let you change your style and stand out during hunts.

The update brings a new seasonal event. The Festival of Accord: Blossomdance runs from April 23 to May 6. It includes:

• Themed decor across the Grand Hub

• Limited quests with exclusive armor and weapon rewards

• Event meals with custom bonuses

Daily activities and rotating bounties offer a variety of ways to earn event items. It's a key moment for collectors and social hunters.

Gameplay balance and gear systems receive several upgrades:

• Additional missions expand the main and side storylines

• New blueprints introduce more crafting options

• Upgrade levels for rarity 5+ equipment are now higher

• Monster behavior adjustments improve fight consistency

These changes make combat progression smoother and offer more gear to experiment with.

The update brings fixes that improve stability and performance:

• Better VRAM efficiency for smoother play on PC

• More consistent results from mantle items

• Bug fixes for visuals, UI, and hit detection

These upgrades support players using different platforms and help keep fights fair and reliable.

Capcom has confirmed ongoing seasonal support for Monster Hunter Wilds. Title Update 2, expected in summer 2025, will bring back Lagiacrus , a water-based monster from earlier games. Early reports point to:

• New semi-underwater areas

• Updates to movement and dodging mechanics in water

• A new set of aquatic-themed weapons and armor

This future content builds on the ecosystem of Wilds and keeps players invested beyond the first title update.

Other features included in Title Update Monster Hunter Wilds:

• HUD scaling options and new colorblind modes

• Toggle for automatic weapon sheathing

• Sound mixing controls to help with team coordination

These additions focus on ease of use and make multiplayer hunts easier to manage.

More updates are planned, and if this patch is any sign, Monster Hunter Wilds is only getting better from here.
