Monster Hunter Wilds Update 1 Launches Early April, Introduces Endgame Hub
Capcom has unveiled the first details of Monster Hunter Wilds' initial major patch, set to roll out in early April. Following the game's massive launch, Capcom shared insights into Title Update 1 via a post on Steam, emphasizing that its release just over a month post-launch "will give hunters ample time to prepare for the new content and challenges that await them."
Title Update 1 is set to elevate the game's challenge level with the introduction of a monster whose strength surpasses even the Tempered monsters. Capcom encourages players to "Prepare your gear, and resolve, hunters!" as they brace for this formidable adversary. Additionally, another challenging monster will join the fray with this update.
A notable feature of Title Update 1 is the addition of a new endgame social hub. Capcom announced, "A new place to meet, communicate, have meals together, and more with other hunters will be added to Monster Hunter Wilds in TU1!" This area will be accessible to players who have completed the main story, offering a much-needed space for community interaction.
Reactions to the addition of this social hub have been mixed. While some players welcome the feature, others question its absence at launch. It resembles the Gathering Hubs from previous Monster Hunter titles, yet Capcom has chosen a different name for it this time around. The game currently lacks a true social hub, so this new area is anticipated to fill that gap effectively.
Capcom has also released a series of images showcasing this new gathering place, providing a glimpse into what players can expect:
