A New Hub For Hunters

The showcase opened with the Grand Hub, a new endgame social space for hunting groups. Enjoy feasts, arm-wrestling, or the Diva’s nighttime songs. Try Barrel Bowling, earn vouchers through activities, and unlock additional rewards.

Unlock the Grand Hub at Hunter Rank 16 by speaking with Tetsuzan in Suja, the Peaks of Accord.

Mizutsune Arrives

Title Update 1 introduces Mizutsune, a swift monster with tail strikes and water jets. Face it in the Scarlet Forest at HR 21 or higher by speaking with Kanya to start the quest. New gear awaits from the hunt.

Additional Hunts on the Way

A new Event Quest features Arch-tempered Rey Dau, a tougher challenge than standard Tempered fights. At HR 50 or above, take it on for new armor rewards. Zoh Shia, previously a one-time story boss, now offers repeatable quests at HR 50 with new armor crafting.

Arena Quests

Speedrunners can tackle Arena Quests to compete for the fastest times. Challenge and Free Challenge Quests offer pendants for participation and success. Access them via the Grand Hub’s counter.

Change Alma's Outfit

Alma, a dedicated handler, gets new cosmetic options. Customize her look via the camp’s appearance menu, with one free outfit included. Complete a side mission to swap her glasses.

More DLC is on the Way

Title Update 1 brings free and paid DLC. Classic gestures from past Monster Hunter games are free in the store, while Cosmetic DLC Pack 1 offers new items for purchase or via the Cosmetic DLC Pass or Premium Deluxe Edition. New stickers, Alma outfits, and more are coming.

More Event Quests and Seasonal Events

Additional Event Quests and Seasonal Events are planned. During Seasonal Events, the Grand Hub transforms, and meals change. Limited gear, gestures, and decorations are available. The Festival of Accord: Blossomdance starts April 23, adding cherry blossoms and decor. Capcom noted most past events and quests will return.

The Roadmap Ahead

Title Update 1 arrives April 3 for U.S. players, with Blossomdance on April 22. Arch-tempered Rey Dau debuts April 29, and by May’s end, new features and a Capcom collaboration launch.

Monster Hunter Wilds Title Update 2

The showcase teased Title Update 2, set for summer with no fixed date. A glimpse hinted at Lagiacrus, the underwater leviathan, stirring trouble above ground.

Capcom’s monster-hunting series hit big at launch, and Title Update 1 sets the pace for future content.
