This update introduces a new hub for hunters to socialize, new armor and cosmetic options to revamp your style, and new, formidable monsters to challenge your skills.

We're eager to hear which aspect of the update excites you the most! Share your thoughts in the comments below!

A New Hub For Hunters

The showcase kicked off with a detailed look at the new endgame hub for hunting parties, aptly named the Grand Hub. This area offers a plethora of new activities for hunters to enjoy. Whether you're feasting together, engaging in arm wrestling, or listening to the Diva's nightly performances, there's something for everyone. Additionally, the Barrel Bowling mini-game allows you to earn vouchers through various in-game activities, offering more rewards to enhance your experience.

To unlock the Grand Hub, reach Hunter Rank 16 and speak with Tetsuzan in Suja, the Peaks of Accord.

Mizutsune Arrives

A major highlight of Title Update 1 is the introduction of the bubbly monster, Mizutsune. Known for its swift tail strikes and powerful water jets, Mizutsune promises to be a challenging adversary. Once you reach Hunter Rank 21 or above, head to the Scarlet Forest and speak with Kanya to embark on this thrilling quest. Successful hunters will be rewarded with new gear crafted from Mizutsune materials.

Additional Hunts on the Way

Prepare for an intense new Event Quest featuring Arch-tempered Rey Dau, a step above the usual Tempered fights. This challenging encounter requires you to be at least Hunter Rank 50, with new armor awaiting those who can conquer it.

Zoh Shia, previously a one-time fight in the main story, will now be available for repeated battles through new quests. Reach Hunter Rank 50 to access these quests and craft new armor from Zoh Shia materials.

Arena Quests

Speedrunners will find their niche with the introduction of Arena Quests, designed for those looking to compete for the fastest clear times. Both Challenge Quests and Free Challenge Quests will be available, with pendants awarded for participation and achievement. Access these quests through the counter in the new Grand Hub.

Change Alma's Outfit

Alma, the dedicated handler, is getting a stylish upgrade with new cosmetic options. You can now change Alma's attire through an appearance menu at camp, with one new outfit available for free. Complete a specific side mission to unlock additional options, including new glasses for Alma.

More DLC is on the Way

Alongside Title Update 1, a variety of free and paid DLC will be released. Classic gestures from previous Monster Hunter games will be available for free in the store, while the Cosmetic DLC Pack 1 offers additional options for those who have the Cosmetic DLC Pass or Premium Deluxe Edition. Look forward to new stickers, outfits for Alma, and more.

More Event Quests and Seasonal Events

The excitement continues with more Event Quests and Seasonal Events. During these special time windows, the Grand Hub will transform, and unique meals will be available. Limited equipment, gestures, decorations, and more will be up for grabs during these events.

The first Seasonal Event, the Festival of Accord: Blossomdance, begins on April 23, featuring pink cherry blossoms and new decor. Capcom has also confirmed that most previously available events and Event Quests will return in the future.

The Roadmap Ahead

Here's a glimpse of the upcoming content schedule. Title Update 1 will launch on April 3 for U.S. players, followed by the Blossomdance event on April 22. The challenging Arch-tempered Rey Dau arrives on April 29, and by the end of May, additional features and a Capcom collaboration will be introduced.

Monster Hunter Wilds Title Update 2

The showcase concluded with a teaser for Title Update 2, set to arrive this summer. While no specific date has been announced, a brief image hinted at the possible return of the long-awaited monster, Lagiacrus, the underwater leviathan, now causing chaos on the surface.
