A New Hub for Hunters

The Monster Hunter Wilds Showcase began with an introduction to the new endgame hub, the Grand Hub. This area promises to be a social hotspot where hunters can engage in various activities like feasting, arm wrestling, and enjoying the Diva's nightly performances. The Grand Hub also introduces a fun Barrel Bowling mini-game, where players can earn vouchers and rewards. To unlock the Grand Hub, reach Hunter Rank 16 and speak to Tetsuzan in Suja, the Peaks of Accord.

Mizutsune Arrives

A major highlight of Title Update 1 is the arrival of the Mizutsune, a monster known for its swift tail strikes and water jets. Hunters at HR 21 or above can encounter Mizutsune in the Scarlet Forest by speaking to Kanya, who will offer the quest. Defeating Mizutsune not only tests your skills but also rewards you with new gear to craft.

Additional Hunts on the Way

Title Update 1 will introduce an Event Quest featuring the formidable Arch-tempered Rey Dau, a challenge for those at HR 50 and above. Successful hunters will earn new armor. Additionally, players will have the opportunity to re-fight Zoh Shia through new quests available after reaching HR 50, with new armor to craft from these battles.

Arena Quests

For those who love a challenge and speedrunning, Arena Quests are being added, allowing hunters to compete for the fastest clear times. These quests are accessible through the counter in the Grand Hub, and participants can earn pendants for both participation and achievement.

Change Alma's Outfit

Alma, the dedicated handler, is getting a fashionable upgrade with new cosmetic options. Players can now change Alma's attire via an appearance menu in camp, and a new outfit is available for free. Completing a specific side mission will also allow you to change Alma's glasses.

More DLC on the Way

Alongside Title Update 1, a mix of free and paid DLC will be released. Classic gestures from previous Monster Hunter games will be available for free, while the Cosmetic DLC Pack 1 and other items can be purchased in the store or through the Cosmetic DLC Pass or Premium Deluxe Edition. New stickers and additional looks for Alma are also on the horizon.

More Event Quests and Seasonal Events

The update will feature new Event Quests and Seasonal Events, transforming the Grand Hub with themed decorations and special menus. The Festival of Accord: Blossomdance kicks off on April 23, introducing pink cherry blossoms and new decor. Capcom also plans to bring back most previously available events and Event Quests.

The Roadmap Ahead

Title Update 1 is scheduled for April 3 in the U.S., followed by the Blossomdance on April 22. The challenging Arch-tempered Rey Dau quest arrives on April 29, with further features and a Capcom collaboration set for the end of May.

Monster Hunter Wilds Title Update 2

The showcase concluded with a sneak peek at Title Update 2, slated for this summer. While no specific date has been confirmed, an image hinted at the return of the beloved Lagiacrus, the underwater leviathan, promising more thrilling encounters.
