While Title Update 1 is slated for a general "early April" release, the exact date remains under wraps. Fans are eagerly awaiting a confirmed launch date, which is likely to be one of the key announcements during the showcase.
In terms of new content, the return of Mizutsune—a leviathan known for its dangerous bubbles—is confirmed. Capcom also plans to introduce a new challenge and a unique social hub for players who have completed the main story. This hub will be a place to meet, communicate, and enjoy meals together with other hunters, enhancing the community aspect of the game.
Looking ahead, players have their sights set on additional features for Title Update 1. Layered weapons, which allow players to change the appearance of their weapons without affecting their stats, are high on the wishlist. Further enhancements like additional camera options and other quality-of-life improvements are also eagerly anticipated.
The community continues to hope for ongoing optimization and fine-tuning, especially for the PC version, which faced some challenges at launch. Hunters are excited about the prospect of new monsters, fresh challenges, and deeper engagement with Monster Hunter Wilds. As the latest entry in Capcom's renowned monster-fighting series, Wilds has already seen significant success, and Title Update 1 will set the tone for future updates.
