Monster Hunter Wilds' First Major Update Will Add A Lot In April

Capcom has revealed the release window of Title Update 1 for Monster Hunter Wilds and teased some of what players can expect from it. Specifically, it looks like more content is coming to the game for players who beat the story and want more of a challenge.

Title Update 1 will come out in early April, placing its launch over a month after the base game's release. That might seem like a big gap between launch and the first update, but the official Monster Hunter X account explains that Capcom wanted to "give hunters enough time to prepare for the new content, and challenges, that await them!" Capcom had previously teased this update with a vague Spring 2025 release window during a State of Play earlier this month.

While Monster Hunter Wilds is one of the most approachable games in the series yet, Capcom will also add more-difficult monsters in TItle Update 1. There will be two new monsters for players to hunt, including one with strength "at a level above Tempered." During the State of Play, it was confirmed that Mizutsune from Monster Hunter Generations and Monster Hunter Rise will be one of these monsters.

Capcom also teased on X that this update will add "a new place to communicate, have meals together, and more with other hunters," although it clarified that players will have to complete Monster Hunter Wilds' story before they can access this. With this addition and those tough new monsters, Title Update 1 looks like it will strengthen the endgame of Monster Hunter Wilds.

You can start playing the game and preparing for Title Update 1 yourself when Monster Hunter Wilds launches for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S tomorrow, February 28.
