Following the game's February 27th release (PlayStation's 2025 State of Play showcased the launch trailer), Capcom surprised fans with a roadmap outlining planned post-launch content.

Monster Hunter Wilds Title Update 1: Mizutsune, Event Quests, and More

Title Update 1 introduces the fan-favorite Mizutsune, a dragon-type monster inhabiting aquatic environments. Known for its bubble-based attacks inflicting Bubbleblight, and its striking pink and purple coloration, Mizutsune promises exciting gameplay and visually appealing gear. The trailer shows Mizutsune confronting Doshaguma, suggesting a familiar moveset. Its in-game location remains undisclosed.

The update also includes new Event Quests accessible via the Mission Board, offering valuable rewards for defeating various monsters. The exact number of quests is yet to be revealed. Additional unspecified updates are planned, possibly addressing optimization or performance issues, a key priority for Monster Hunter Wilds. The recent beta suggests a smooth launch.

Monster Hunter Wilds Summer Title Update 2 and Beyond

A second Title Update is scheduled for Summer 2025, featuring another new monster (identity unknown – either a franchise newcomer or a returning favorite) and more Event Quests.

Further content beyond these two updates remains unconfirmed, but Capcom's commitment to a successful launch suggests more surprises may be in store.
