While the exact release date for Title Update 1 remains unspecified beyond an "early April" timeframe, the showcase is expected to provide a concrete launch date, which is a key detail fans are eagerly anticipating.
As for the content of the update, Mizutsune, known for its hazardous bubbles, will make a comeback. Additionally, Capcom plans to introduce a new challenge and a new social hub where players can meet, communicate, dine together, and more, specifically designed for those who have completed the main storyline.
On players' wishlists for Title Update 1, layered weapons—allowing weapon appearance changes without affecting stats—are a popular request. Additional camera options and other quality-of-life improvements are also highly desired. There's a continued hope that future updates will refine and optimize Monster Hunter Wilds, particularly following feedback on the PC version during the game's launch period.
Overall, the community is excited about the prospect of new monsters, challenges, and deeper engagement with Monster Hunter Wilds. The game's launch was a major success, and Title Update 1 will set the tone for Capcom's ongoing support of the title.
