Monster Hunter Wilds is rounding out its one-month anniversary with a major patch later this week. It’ll add new features and monsters to the game, as well as some urgent stability improvements on PC where performance has remained pretty abysmal since launch.

Progressing through the early hours of Monster Hunter Wilds gives players a chance to familiarize themselves with the gameplay, story, and world, but true fans of the series know that the real fun of these games starts when High Rank starts.

The first title update for Monster Hunter Wilds has been announced by Capcom, and comes with a brand-new area, new monsters, and time-ranked Arena Quests. The Monster Hunter Wilds update release date is April 3, 2025, and is free for all players. A new event, Festival of Accord: Blossomdance, is also on the way soon.
