Monster Hunter Wilds TU4 Arrives Dec. 16 With Gogmazios as Capcom Outlines PC Optimization Roadmap

Capcom pairs the content drop with a staged PC performance plan that stretches into early 2026.

Overview

  • Title Update 4 introduces Elder Dragon Gogmazios, an eight-member special quest using four hunters plus four support allies, Armor Transcendence, and upgrades that turn Rarity 8 Artian weapons into Gogma variants.
  • The patch delivers CPU and GPU optimization across platforms with over 100 processing improvements affecting combatants, companions, UI, effects, and world systems.
  • Capcom’s PC roadmap schedules January fixes to shader compilation, VRAM usage, and high‑resolution texture streaming alongside new graphics and CPU settings, with February adding level‑of‑detail mesh options.
  • New endgame challenges include Arch‑Tempered Jin Dahaad in permanent quests from Dec. 24, multiple 9★ optionals, limited challenge quests from Jan. 7, and the Festival of Accord: Lumenhymn running Dec. 19–Jan. 14.
  • Free photo poses and character/Palico edit vouchers arrive with TU4, while a paid Cosmetic DLC Pack 4 is sold separately; community reaction remains skeptical as producers say final checks are underway for PC stability.
