Monster Hunter Wilds has just been released but that hasn't stopped the development team over at CAPCOM from working on the game. This early, the studio has announced that Title Update 1 is coming out sometime in early April. It means that there's enough time to enjoy what's available and at the same time prepare for the new content and challenges set to arrive.

In a post, the studio revealed that the update is set to introduce a monster that has formidable strength. How strong? It seems that it's going to be at a level above Tempered. There's also going to be another challenging monster to be added. The upcoming update also releases a new place where players can meet, communicate, and even have meals together. In addition, other hunters are also planned to be added.

These are just some of the content currently being worked on by the development team. Hopefully, we get to know more over the coming days.

Monster Hunter Wilds tells the story of monsters and humans and their struggles to live in harmony in a world of duality. Players get to take on the role of a Hunter who tracks and defeats powerful monsters. They can also forge new weapons and armor from the materials that they harvest during the hunt.

The story focuses on a young boy named Nata who was rescued at the border of the Forbidden Lands. It's an unexplored region the guild has yet to be surveyed. However, after learning about the boy and his lone escape from a mysterious monster that attacked his village, the Guild has decided to organize an expedition into the Forbidden Lands to investigate.

The environments within the Forbidden Lands can drastically change as the weather shifts constantly and suddenly. During the harsh Fallow and perilous Inclemency periods for example, ravenous monsters venture out to hunt in packs. Then during the Plenty periods, wildlife is rich and abundant. Meanwhile, the monsters who inhabit these environments have been forced to adapt to the dynamic changes that occur and now use their unique characteristics to survive and thrive.

Monster Hunter Wilds is available for the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series X/S. It’s also been released for the PC and one platform is Steam.
