Monster Hunter Wilds

Capcom has announced Monster Hunter Wilds title update 2 is set to launch this month, just in time for summer.

The second title update for Monster Hunter Wilds is set to launch for all platforms on June 30th, bringing with it returning monsters Lagiacrus and Seregios, and more. A third title update is now set for sometime in late September.

Here’s a rundown on the new update, plus a trailer:

Following its last appearance in Monster Hunter™ Generations Ultimate, Lagiacrus makes a triumphant return in Monster Hunter Wilds. Director Yuya Tokuda was ecstatic to share more about the first flagship monster he helped design from start to finish, and how they’ve incorporated special underwater actions for part of your battle with this Leviathan in Monster Hunter Wilds. Seregios, a fast-moving wyvern that made its Western debut in Monster Hunter™ 4 Ultimate will also be soaring into the Forbidden Lands in Title Update 2.

This agile aerialist has been upgraded for Monster Hunter Wilds to hone hunters’ reflexes in a fast-moving and hard-hitting dance of blows. After completing their initial main missions, both Lagiacrus and Seregios will also appear as 8★ Tempered monsters when Title Update 2 launches on June 30 for hunters HR41 and above. Starting July 30, Arch-tempered Uth Duna will also arrive as a limited-time Event Quest and a Free Challenge Quest and will reward the new armor sets Uth Duna γ and Felyne Uth Duna γ to hunters able to weather the storm.

Fashion hunters looking to meld form and function, look no further! Starting in Title Update 2, crafting the final weapon in a tree, Rarity 8 Artian weapons, and High-Rank Palico weapons will unlock that design as Layered Weapon. Once hunters have perfected their fit they can enhance and show off their designs with new photo mode options such as brightness settings and filter effects, alongside the ability to hide their Handler, Palico, Seikret, and more in the Character Display tab. Hunters can also look forward to new support options while out in the field, with the inquisitive biologist Erik able to fill in for Alma as the Avis unit’s handler and the Sword & Shield wielding Support Hunter Mina joining from Vespae Unit. Title Update 2 also adds the option for hunters to choose which Support Hunters they summon to form an ideal party composition.

Starting July 23, hunters can look forward to a new seasonal celebration with the arrival of The Festival of Accord: Flamefete. This celebration includes limited-time new Grand Hub decorations, meals, limited-time equipment, gestures, and more! The Monster Hunter Rathalos Telecaster®, created by the legendary guitar-maker Fender to celebrate the Monster Hunter™ 20th anniversary, makes an appearance in Monster Hunter Wilds starting August 27 as an in-game gesture that can be obtained through a limited-time Event Quest! Title Update 2 will also introduce new paid and free DLC, including four free dance gestures, additional paid DLC, and the release of Cosmetic DLC Pack 2 which is included in the Premium Deluxe Edition and Cosmetic DLC pass for Monster Hunter Wilds.

Please stay tuned for additional information regarding the release of Title Update 3 in late September.
