Capcom has unveiled early details about the first major patch for Monster Hunter Wilds, set to launch in early April. Following the game's massive debut, Capcom shared insights on Title Update 1 via a Steam post. The patch, scheduled to roll out just over a month after the game's release, is designed to allow hunters ample time to gear up for new challenges and content.

Title Update 1 introduces a new level of difficulty with a formidable monster that surpasses even the Tempered level in strength. Capcom encourages players to prepare their gear and resolve for this daunting challenge. Additionally, the update will feature another challenging monster to keep the excitement going.

A significant addition to Monster Hunter Wilds with Title Update 1 is a new endgame gathering spot. This area, accessible to players who have completed the main storyline, serves as a social hub where hunters can meet, communicate, and enjoy meals together. While some fans have welcomed this addition, others question its absence at the game's launch, noting similarities to the Gathering Hubs of previous Monster Hunter titles. Capcom's decision not to label it as such has sparked curiosity, especially since Monster Hunter Wilds currently lacks a dedicated social hub.

Capcom has released images showcasing this new gathering place, giving players a glimpse of what to expect:
