Capcom has exciting news for fans of *Monster Hunter Wilds*, with the release of Title Update 1 scheduled for Thursday, April 3, Pacific Time, and April 4, UK time. In a showcase video, Capcom not only confirmed the release date but also detailed what players can anticipate from this major post-launch update.
A key feature of Title Update 1 is the introduction of the Grand Hub, a new social space where players can engage in new activities. Here, you can enjoy a fun mini-game named Barrel Bowling and experience the enchanting performances of the Diva at night. Additionally, the update brings the Mizutsune, a leviathan monster known for its perilous bubbles, along with a Zoh Shia quest. Later, an event quest will introduce the formidable Arch-tempered Rey Dau.
Competitive players will be thrilled with the new Arena Quests, which challenge players to achieve the fastest completion times. This update also includes free content for all players, such as classic gestures from the series. Alongside, Cosmetic DLC Pack 1 will be available for those looking to customize their appearance.
Looking ahead, Capcom teased a collaboration with an unannounced Capcom game set to arrive at the end of May in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. A second title update is planned for the summer, featuring the introduction of a new monster, giving fans even more to look forward to.
While PC gamers were eager for updates on performance improvements following some initial complaints at launch, the showcase did not address this topic. However, the community remains hopeful for future enhancements.
