It's been nearly one month since the release of Monster Hunter Wilds on PC and modern consoles! Thank you to all hunters around the world for your incredible support. Whether you're a series veteran with many hunts under your belt, or started your hunting journey with Wilds, we hope you've been enjoying making your way through the game and putting in many hours of hunts in High Rank, long after the credits have rolled. Today, we're excited to share what's next for Monster Hunter Wilds by taking the wraps off of the game's first Free Title Update.
The graceful Leviathan Mizutsune makes its way to the Wilds
Equal parts dazzling and dangerous, Mizutsune moves almost as if it's dancing, and skillfully attacks foes with debilitating bubbles. Get your gear ready to take on this returning monster for the first time in Monster Hunter Wilds. Mizutsune also comes with stylish new armor sets to forge for your hunter and Palico. An eight-star Tempered Mizutsune will also appear. To start the Mizutsune hunt, talk to Kanya in the Scarlet Forest Base Camp at Hunter Rank (HR)21 or above.
Arch-tempered Rey Dau appears in an Event Quest
Currently, Tempered monsters present the highest threat in Monster Hunter Wilds. That all changes with Free Title Update 1, as an even more powerful Arch-tempered monster will arrive to test your skills. Take on Arch-tempered Rey Dau at HR 50 or above, when it arrives in an Event Quest on Tuesday, April 30.
New Rey Dau γ (gamma) and Felyne Rey Dau γ (gamma) sets will be available to forge by hunting Arch-tempered Rey Dau:
Make sure to prepare your gear and polish up your skills until then, so you're ready for this new challenge.
Take on Zoh Shia once more
The fearsome Zoh Shia returns in High Rank with Free Title Update 1. Previously, hunters could only fight Zoh Shia one time during the story, but now the quest can be attempted repeatedly. After the update arrives on April 4, a new mission will appear for hunters that have reached HR 50 and above.
Complete it to take on the Zoh Shia quest by selecting in the Environment Overview. Zoh Shia can also seldomly appear and be made into a quest during the Wyvern's Wakening in the Ruins of Wyveria.
And of course, materials from Zoh Shia can be used to forge brand-new High Rank hunter and Palico equipment.
Gather around in a new locale: The Grand Hub
Welcome to the Grand Hub, a new social space for hunters to interact with one another, communicate, and participate in fun activities unique to this new locale. The Grand Hub has long served as a place of worship for the people of Suja. At night, you might catch the Diva occasionally singing in offering, so be sure to listen in.
Hunters, let's go bowling. Roll barrel bombs into targets in the new Barrel Bowling mini-game, available at the Grand Hub. Earn a score based on your rolls and win useful items and pendants for your hunts. Play using Barrel Bowling Vouchers, which can be obtained in multiple ways, such as login bonuses. Felynes are ready to cook up some delicious meals for you in the Grand Hub. Also, you can hang out and communicate with other hunters around the table in the Grand Hub.
The Grand Hub is accessible at Hunter Rank 16 and above by talking to Tetsuzan in Suja, the Peaks of Accord. Once unlocked, the Squad Information Counter will move from the Windward Plains Base Camp to the Grand Hub, allowing you to manage your squads from there.
Compete for the fastest completion times in the Arena
Arena Quests make a return in Monster Hunter Wilds. These are quests where up to two hunters aim to complete a quest as fast as possible using predetermined equipment.
See how your hunt time stacks up against others around the world by checking the world rankings at the Expedition Record Board.
Challenge Quests and Free Challenge Quests
Take on special limited-time Event Quests where you can earn pendants as rewards. All participants will receive pendants; however, you can earn special pendants based on your personal time and world ranking. Like Arena Quests, Challenge Quests require predetermined equipment and are limited to two hunters.
Free Challenge Quests are new to Monster Hunter Wilds and have no restrictions on equipment and for up to four players. Both types of quests can be taken on alongside Support Hunters too.
Change Alma's outfit
An option to change Alma's outfit will be added to the camp's Appearance Menu.
By completing certain side missions, you will also be able to change Alma's glasses. A free outfit for Alma will be available, so give it a try.
Downloadable content
An outfit for Alma's outfit and classic Monster Hunter series gestures will be available as free downloadable content at PlayStation Store after the release of Free Title Update 1.
Cosmetic DLC Pack 1 will also be available for download when Free Title Update 1 releases. This paid DLC will be available for owners of the Cosmetic DLC Pass, which is included in the Premium Deluxe Edition or can be purchased separately.
Seasonal event Festival of Accord: Blossomdance
April 23 to May 7, take part in the Festival of Accord: Blossomdance in the Grand Hub. During seasonal events, the decor and food in the Grand Hub will change, and you can obtain limited equipment, gestures, and pop-up camp decorations.
That wraps up the major content additions for this first Free Title Update. In addition to what we've shared above, the update will include some fixes and adjustments. We're also planning to release another update in May featuring a collaboration with another Capcom game and other additional features.
Free Title Update 2 will arrive this summer, so stay tuned for more details to come. In the meantime, enjoy this small tease of what awaits you. Happy Hunting!
