We’ll finally get to see everything coming to Monster Hunter Wilds with its first update in a special showcase next week
Even before Monster Hunter Wilds came out, Capcom had already been working on its first major post-launch update. We’ve known for a while that it would arrive in early April, and bring with it a new monster in the form of Mizutsune. Next week, we’ll learn everything else coming to the game with Title Update 1.
That’s because the developer is hosting a special presentation to show off all the new content, and it’s not far off.
On Tuesday, March 25, the Monster Hunter Wilds Showcase will return at 7am PT, 10am ET, 2pm UK. Legendary series producer Ryozo Tsujimoto will be hosting this edition of the show, which will focus entirely on Title Update 1.
Getting a solid release date for this one would be a good guess, but we’re also curious to see what new monster difficulty level is being added. Capcom previously said it will be more challenging than Tempered, so the logical conclusion we could come to here is that Arch-Tempered monsters are on their way to Wilds.
Of course, the other major addition coming with this first update is a new version of the iconic Gathering Hub, which should effectively become the new default home base for all players. The initial announcement mentioned “having meals together” as one of the things we can do there, so we’re really hoping that also means the return of the Cantina, the Meowscular Chef and his helpers.
A gathering hub also has a few other, more practical reasons, such as hosting all the material collection, ship requests, vendors and pretty much every NPC you want to deal with in one location. It’s not yet clear whether this version will have all that, but at least we won’t have to wait much longer to find out.
The Tuesday show will be livestreamed on Monster Hunter’s official Twitch channel. As always, we’ll bring all you the big news from the stream following its conclusion. Until then, you can continue to rely on our very popular Monster Hunter Wilds guide for all your gameplay tips, item locations, gear info and more.
