Currently, there’s no exact date locked in for Title Update 1 outside a general “early April” window. A firm launch date for the first big content drop of Monster Hunter Wilds would be one of the big takeaways players would likely want to see in the spotlight.

As for content, we know Mizutsune — a leviathan monster with dangerous bubbles — will return for Monster Hunter Wilds. We also know Capcom plans to add a new challenge as well as a “new place to meet, communicate, have meals together and more with other hunters,” specifically for those who have completed the main story.

What’s on players’ longer wishlist for Title Update 1? Layered weapons, or changing the appearance of your weapon without altering its stats, is a repeated ask. Additional camera options and other quality-of-life features are also sensical options.

There are also still hopes that future updates will continue to fine-tune and optimize Monster Hunter Wilds, as the PC version saw quite a few complaints and concerns in Wilds’ launch window.

Mostly, hunters seem keen on hunting a new monster, getting some new challenges, and having more to dig into with Monster Hunter Wilds. The latest in Capcom’s long-running monster-fighting series brought in some big numbers with its launch, and with Title Update 1, the company will be setting the cadence for how it moves forward.

To help get your Monster Hunter Wilds adventure started, take a look at what Monster Hunter Wilds doesn’t tell you, and a guide to all 14 weapon types in the game. We’ve also got a detailed MH Wilds walkthrough in progress, a MH Wilds multiplayer guide to explain how to play with friends, and if you’ve played one of the open betas, here’s how to transfer your MH Wilds Beta character over.
