Future Updates for Monster Hunter Wilds Revealed
In an engaging letter to fans, Yuya Tokuda, the director of Capcom’s renowned Monster Hunter Wilds, has outlined exciting upcoming updates for the game. Notably, these updates will feature significant gameplay balance adjustments, designed to enhance player experience by buffing the Hammer weapon and nerfing the effects of the Corrupted Mantle.
Key Update Details Coming April 2025
The first substantial title update is scheduled to launch on April 4, 2025. This update will introduce new quests featuring Mizutsune and Zoh Shia while simultaneously implementing balance changes, such as reducing the potency of the Corrupted Mantle. This item, favored by many players for its ability to boost attack power and weapon affinity, comes at the cost of a gradual health depletion. As part of this update, other Mantles will receive buffs to compensate for the adjustments made to the Corrupted Mantle.
Weapon Balancing on the Horizon
Capcom is evaluating the performance of various weapons within Monster Hunter Wilds to ensure fair gameplay. While plans to enhance the Hammer’s capabilities are on the table, the developers are also ready to introduce nerf adjustments for any weapons deemed overpowered. The timing of these updates is currently under consideration, potentially debuting in the version 1.011 release in late May 2025 or the second major title update that will feature Lagiacrus in Summer 2025.
Impressive Sales Milestone
In a related announcement, shortly after the director’s letter, it was revealed that Monster Hunter Wilds has surpassed a milestone of 10 million units sold. This impressive figure follows a successful launch window from February 28 to March 2, 2025, during which the game sold over 8 million units—including pre-orders. The addition of 2 million more units in just one month highlights the game’s growing popularity.
Availability and Upcoming Titles
For those looking to dive into the action, Monster Hunter Wilds is available on various platforms including the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and PC. Gamers can anticipate the first major title update coming soon on April 4, 2025, which promises to enhance gameplay vastly.
Stay tuned for further announcements from Capcom as they continue to evolve Monster Hunter Wilds based on player feedback and gameplay experiences.
