Capcom has announced Monster Hunter Wilds’ title Update 1 comes out on Friday, April 4, 2025.
In a showcase video, Capcom confirmed the release date as well as what players can expect from Monster Hunter Wilds’ first major post-launch update.
The headline here is the Grand Hub, a new gathering place in which players can interact in new ways. Here you can play a new mini-game called Barrel Bowling and listen to the Diva perform at night.
Mizutsune hits Monster Hunter Wilds with Title Update 1, alongside a Zoh Shia quest. Arch-tempered Rey Dau launches later via an event quest.
Arena Quests, where players can compete for fastest completion times, launch with Title Update 1. Free content is coming to all players, including classic gestures from the series. Cosmetic DLC Pack 1 launches alongside this update, too.
A second title update for Wilds is set to release in the summer, and Capcom teased what to expect with an early glimpse at the arrival of a new monster.
