Monster Hunter Wilds' First Major Update Introduces New Challenges and Content

Title Update 1 adds Mizutsune, high-rank Zoh Shia, and the Grand Hub social area while increasing difficulty and improving PC performance.

Title Update 1 for Monster Hunter Wilds is now live, featuring new monsters Mizutsune and a high-rank Zoh Shia, which require Hunter Ranks 21 and 50 respectively to unlock.
The update introduces the Grand Hub, a social area unlocked at Hunter Rank 16, offering features like barrel bowling, arm wrestling, and Arena Quests.
Players are praising the heightened difficulty of the new high-rank monsters, with Zoh Shia and Tempered Mizutsune proving to be significant challenges for both newcomers and veterans.
Technical improvements targeting PC performance include optimized VRAM usage and an upgraded DirectStorage version, though their effectiveness is still being evaluated.
Capcom confirms Monster Hunter Wilds has surpassed 10 million sales in its first month, with preparations underway for the Festival of Accord seasonal event starting April 23.
