Monster Hunter Wilds roadmap and all upcoming content

by

As an ardent fan, I can’t hide my excitement about the future content roadmap for Monster Hunter Wilds! While the details might seem slim at the moment, there are two confirmed free updates on the horizon. The Spring Title Update will reintroduce the elusive Mizutsune, a creature I can barely wait to face off against. The Summer Title Update promises another intriguing monster, but for now, we’re left guessing what formidable foe it might be. Here’s a sneak peek at what new monsters and activities are in store for Monster Hunter Wilds!

Monster Hunter Wilds content roadmap

As a dedicated Monster Hunter Wilds gamer, I’m eagerly awaiting more details from Capcom about the game’s future content. While the current content roadmap is slim, there’s hope that we’ll get a glimpse of what’s to come shortly after launch. So far, we’ve been told that two free title updates are on the horizon, with plans for updates in the spring and summer following the game’s launch, leaving us hanging with “to be continued…”.

Regrettably, at the game’s launch, Master Rank hunts won’t offer the challenge you might have anticipated. There’s currently no indication that this endgame difficulty will be introduced within the timeline of this roadmap’s flexible seasonal schedule. Historically, Master Rank has been introduced as part of larger post-launch expansions (such as Iceborne for Monster Hunter World and Sunbreak for Monster Hunter Rise). Given this pattern, it seems reasonable to assume that Monster Hunter Wilds may follow suit, although no news about an expansion has been shared yet.

Additionally, it has been announced that there will be two Cosmetic DLC Packs available, however they will only be accessible to players who own the Premium Deluxe Edition of the game. These packs contain Layered Armor and Pendants which can be utilized to customize the look of your armor in Monster Hunter Wilds.

Here’s a breakdown of the key points regarding the upcoming changes in Monster Hunter Worlds, along with the particulars for each confirmed title update:

1. Overview: This is a summary of what lies ahead for Monster Hunter Worlds.
2. Details per Title Update: Below you will find specific information for each announced update.

This way, it’s easier to understand the structure and flow of the information provided.

Monster Hunter Wilds Spring Free Title Update

The Spring Update for Monster Hunter Worlds is the initial significant release offering fresh elements. This upgrade comes at no cost to all gamers, ensuring that everyone will encounter these new features:

1. New hunting grounds with unique monsters to conquer.
2. Improved equipment and weapons for more powerful combat.
3. New quests and events to keep your adventure exciting.
4. Enhanced graphics and gameplay mechanics for an even better gaming experience.

  • Mizutsune monster: The massive Mizutsune monster makes a return, joining the already huge Monster Hunter Wilds roster. If you’re not aware of this colossal creature it’s a serpentine, dragon-like creature that’s almost like a hybrid of a mythical kitsune fox and a crocodile. Expect it to be a serious challenge.
  • Additional updates and event quests: Capcom’s keeping things vague for now but expect more challenges and limited-time hunts to overcome when the Spring Title Update rolls arounds.
  • Cosmetic DLC Pack 1 for Premium Deluxe Edition owners is arriving in spring 2025, so it may coincide with the release of this Title Update.

Monster Hunter Wilds Summer Free Title Update

Details regarding the next significant free update for Monster Hunter Worlds remain somewhat hazy. Here’s what we have gathered thus far:

  • Additional monster: Capcom is keeping a tight lid on what the monster is for now. While it isn’t explciity confirmed or denied describing the monster as “additional” rather than new suggests it might be another returning monster like the Mizutsune, but that’s pure speculation on my part.
  • Event quests: Again, there will be more limited-time hunts and event challenges to complete with the release of the Summer Title Update.
  • Cosmetic DLC Pack 2 for Premium Deluxe Edition owners is due sometime in the summer 2025, so hopefully it joins this Title Update, but it could arrive at a different date.

In the coming weeks, you can expect two free updates for Monster Hunter World, covering approximately the initial six months of its release. As more details about these updates and future ones emerge, we’ll make sure to update this guide with fresh information as soon as it becomes available.
