Capcom Sets Monster Hunter Wilds Title Update 4 for December 16 With Gogmazios and First-Wave Performance Fixes

Capcom positions the patch as the start of a multi‑month performance turnaround following sustained player complaints.

Overview

  • Title Update 4 adds the returning Elder Dragon Gogmazios in a special quest that supports up to eight hunters by pairing four players with four support hunters, including NPCs Nadia and Fabius.
  • The patch implements cross‑platform CPU and GPU optimisations with more than 100 processing changes, including adjustments to frame processing, collision detection, and on‑screen effects to reduce system load.
  • Capcom’s PC roadmap schedules a January patch to improve shader compilation, reduce VRAM usage, speed high‑resolution texture streaming, and add new graphics and CPU settings, followed by February LOD and mesh‑quality tweaks.
  • Endgame additions include Gogma Artian weapon upgrades from Gogmazios materials, Armor Transcendence for HR 100+, high‑difficulty 9★ optional quests, and limited‑time challenge quests starting January 7, 2026.
  • Arch‑Tempered Jin Dahaad arrives as a permanent event quest on December 24, and the Festival of Accord: Lumenhymn runs December 19–January 14 with seasonal hub changes, event quests, login bonuses, and temporary access to Fabius and Nadia as support hunters.
