Capcom has unveiled initial details regarding the first significant patch for Monster Hunter Wilds, slated for early April. Following the game's launch, Capcom announced Title Update 1 (TU1) on Steam. The early April release, slightly over a month post-launch, will allow players ample time to prepare for the incoming challenges and content.
TU1 introduces a formidable new monster, exceeding even Tempered monsters in difficulty. Capcom urges players to prepare their equipment and resolve.
A crucial addition in TU1 is a dedicated endgame gathering hub. This social space, accessible after completing the main story, will enable hunters to convene, communicate, share meals, and more. This addresses the game's current lack of a central social hub, a feature present in previous Monster Hunter titles. While players can currently interact in camps, this new area aims to fill that void. The decision to not explicitly label it a "Gathering Hub" is noteworthy.
Capcom released images showcasing this new location:
Player reception to the endgame hub announcement is mixed, with some praising its inclusion while others question its absence at launch.
Furthermore, Capcom released a troubleshooting guide in response to varied Steam user reviews. For those embarking on their Monster Hunter Wilds journey, various guides are available covering hidden game mechanics, weapon types, a walkthrough, multiplayer instructions, and beta character transfer.
IGN awarded Monster Hunter Wilds an 8/10, praising its improved accessibility while noting a lack of significant challenge.
