Monster Hunter Wilds Update 1 Release Date Announced, Update 2 Coming Summer 2025

Capcom has exciting news for fans of *Monster Hunter Wilds*: the much-anticipated Title Update 1 is set to launch on Thursday, April 3, Pacific Time, and April 4, UK time. In a recent showcase video, Capcom not only confirmed the release date but also unveiled a slew of new features and content that players can look forward to in this first major post-launch update.

The star of the update is the introduction of the Grand Hub, a vibrant new social space where hunters can engage with each other in fresh and exciting ways. Within the Grand Hub, players can enjoy a new mini-game called Barrel Bowling, adding a fun twist to downtime between hunts. Additionally, the Diva will entertain players with nightly performances, enhancing the immersive experience of the game world.

Title Update 1 also introduces the formidable Mizutsune, a leviathan monster known for its dangerous bubbles, bringing a new challenge to the hunters. Alongside Mizutsune, a Zoh Shia quest will be available. Later on, players can look forward to facing the Arch-tempered Rey Dau through a special event quest.

Competitive players will be thrilled to know that Arena Quests, where you can vie for the fastest completion times, are launching with Title Update 1. Capcom is also rolling out free content for all players, including beloved classic gestures from the series. For those looking to enhance their style, Cosmetic DLC Pack 1 will be available alongside the update.

Looking ahead, Capcom teased a collaboration with an unannounced Capcom game set to arrive in *Monster Hunter Wilds* at the end of May. Furthermore, a second title update is slated for the summer, which will introduce yet another new monster to the game, promising more thrilling adventures.

While PC gamers were eager for updates on performance improvements following some launch-related concerns, the showcase did not address this topic, leaving the community still hopeful for future enhancements.

With *Monster Hunter Wilds* continuing to attract a massive player base, Title Update 1 sets the stage for Capcom's future content roadmap. For a deeper dive into all the announcements, check out IGN's comprehensive coverage of the Monster Hunter Wilds Title Update 1 showcase.
