Capcom has unveiled early details of the first major patch for Monster Hunter Wilds, slated for early April. Following the game's launch, Title Update 1, detailed in a Steam post, will arrive a little over a month later, giving players ample time to prepare for the new content and challenges.
This update introduces a significantly more challenging monster, exceeding even the difficulty of Tempered monsters. Capcom urges players: "Prepare your gear, and resolve, hunters!"
Title Update 1 also adds a crucial endgame social hub. Capcom describes it as "a new place to meet, communicate, have meals together and more with other hunters." Access is granted upon completion of the main story.
Initial player reactions to this addition have been mixed, with some welcoming the social space and others questioning its absence at launch. While resembling the Gathering Hubs from previous Monster Hunter titles, Capcom notably avoids using that term. The new area aims to address the current lack of a dedicated social hub in Monster Hunter Wilds, beyond the existing, limited camp interactions.
Accompanying the announcement are several screenshots showcasing this new gathering place:
Furthermore, Capcom released a troubleshooting guide to assist players experiencing difficulties.
For newcomers, numerous resources are available: a guide highlighting what the game doesn't explicitly explain, a comprehensive guide to all 14 weapon types, a detailed walkthrough (in progress), a multiplayer guide, and instructions for transferring beta character data.
IGN's review of Monster Hunter Wilds awarded the game an 8/10, praising its improvements while noting a lack of significant challenge.
