Monster Hunter Wilds Title Update 1 Launches on April 4

by

Capcom is releasing an update for Monster Hunter Wilds titled Update 1 on April 4th. This update brings back the monster Mizutsune, introduces fresh quests, a grand meeting area called the Hub, and lots of additional features. Players can start hunting Mizutsune and access new content from April 4th, but they must have reached Hunter Rank 21 or higher to do so.

Beginning with Monster Hunter Wilds Update 1, players will find the mission to pursue Mizutsune by conversing with Kanya in the Scarlet Forest. At Hunter Rank 31, Tempered Mizutsune will start showing up too. For the first time, Arch-tempered Rey Day emerges in a special quest for players at Hunter Rank 50 and beyond. Also unlocked at Hunter Rank 50 is a mission to hunt Zoh Shia again. Players can collect Zoh Shia pieces to manufacture high-rank hunter and Palico gear.

Title Update 1 introduces Arena Quests, Challenge Quests (including Free Challenge Quests), which are available as temporary Event Quests. The Arena and Challenge Quests allow up to two players each, with specific gear pre-selected. In contrast, Free Challenge Quests have no equipment limitations and can be completed in four-player cooperation. Completing these quests grants rewards and Hunter Rank experience points. Furthermore, new Event Quests will regularly appear on the Quest Board.

To add on, Title Update 1 brings the introduction of the Grand Gathering Place, or “Grand Hub”, into Monster Hunter Wilds. This vast social area offers hunters fresh interactions, such as a new Barrel Bowling mini-game where players can earn items and pendants as prizes. To access the Grand Hub, players must reach Hunter Rank 16 and speak with Tetsuzan in Suja. The entrance to this hub will also showcase the Expedition Record Board, which highlights the quickest global clear times for Arena Quests, along with limited bounties.

Once a season, there’ll be a grand gathering called the Grand Hub Celebration. The inaugural event is the Blossomdance Festival, which takes place from April 23rd to May 7th. During these festivals, the Grand Hub’s look and food options will transform, and hunters can acquire temporary gear, emotes, Pop-Up Camp decorations, and various other items. Seasonal Event Quests and returning Event Quests will be accessible, with Arch-tempered Rey Dau available from April 30th to May 21st.

In the upcoming update, handler Alma will receive a complimentary outfit. Additionally, a side quest will be introduced that grants the power to modify her glasses. Familiar gestures are coming back for free as part of the DLC in Monster Hunter Wilds. Moreover, Cosmetic DLC Pack 1 will be available either as a separate purchase or as an included item for those who own the Premium Deluxe Edition and Cosmetic DLC Pass. This pack will also introduce new Camp Gear options for your Pop-Up Camps across the Forbidden Lands. Extra Paid DLC, not part of Cosmetic DLC Pack 1, will also be offered separately.

Roadmap

A new update is scheduled at the end of May 2025, which brings collaboration with another Capcom game, a function to view the Endemic Life you’ve caught, among other exciting features. In addition, Title Update 2 is slated for summer 2025, introducing a fresh monster and a brand-new seasonal event.

To wrap things up, “Monster Hunter Rise” has been released on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC through Steam. Final Weapon has rated it 4 out of 5, praising it as a fantastic addition to the established series and a worthy successor to Capcom’s all-time best-selling game. Although there have been some technical hiccups, Capcom has managed to create one of the most satisfying combat systems in “Monster Hunter Rise” and introduced the franchise’s first coherent narrative mode.
