What’s Coming in Monster Hunter Wilds Title Update 1 & Roadmap

Monster Hunter Wilds Title Update 1 – Mizutsune, Event Quests, & Additional Updates

Leading the charge in the first title update is the return of Mizutsune, a fan-favorite dragon-type monster known for its aquatic habitat and devastating bubble-based attacks that can inflict Bubbleblight. Its striking pink scales and purple fur not only make it a formidable foe but also a source of highly coveted gear. Although the exact location where Mizutsune will appear in the game remains a mystery, the trailer footage shows it ambushing Doshaguma, suggesting its classic moveset will be intact.

Alongside Mizutsune, Title Update 1 will introduce a fresh set of Event Quests, accessible via the game's Mission Board. These quests will challenge players to take down various monsters for exclusive rewards, adding more depth and incentives to the gameplay experience. While the number of Event Quests remains undisclosed, their inclusion promises to keep the community engaged.

Additionally, the update will feature "additional updates" scheduled for spring. Though details are sparse, these could encompass optimizations and performance enhancements, crucial for ensuring a smooth experience in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. The positive feedback from the recent beta test suggests the game is set for a robust launch.

Monster Hunter Wilds Summer Title Update 2 & Beyond

The roadmap extends into the summer of 2025 with Title Update 2, promising the introduction of another new monster. Whether this will be a fresh addition or a familiar face from the franchise remains to be seen. Accompanying this new monster, further Event Quests will be added to keep the gameplay dynamic and challenging.

While details beyond these two updates are not yet available, Capcom's commitment to a successful launch hints at more content on the horizon. Stay tuned for more surprises as *Monster Hunter Wilds* evolves.
