Monster Hunter Wilds’ Title Update 1 Releases April 4
Aside from Monster Hunter Wilds' Grand Hub, the star of the show was Mizutsune, the new snake-like leviathan monster that's guaranteed to present players with a whole new challenge.

At the end of the trailer, Capcom teased Title Update 2 and announced that players can expect to see it arrive at some point during the summer of 2025. Both updates and all of their content are free for everyone playing the game.
