Adding to the excitement, the leviathan monster Mizutsune, known for its dangerous bubbles, joins the fray in Monster Hunter Wilds with Title Update 1, accompanied by a Zoh Shia quest. Additionally, the formidable Arch-tempered Rey Dau will be introduced later through an event quest.
Competitive players will be thrilled with the launch of Arena Quests, where you can vie for the fastest completion times. Title Update 1 brings free content for all players, including classic gestures from the series. Alongside this update, Cosmetic DLC Pack 1 will also be available.
Looking ahead, Capcom teased a collaboration with an unannounced Capcom game set to arrive in Monster Hunter Wilds at the end of May. A second title update is slated for the summer, with an early glimpse at a new monster to keep fans eagerly anticipating what's next.
While PC gamers were hoping for updates on performance improvements for Monster Hunter Wilds, given the concerns raised during the game's launch window, the showcase did not address these issues.
