Capcom has unveiled the first details of the initial major patch for *Monster Hunter Wilds*, set to launch in early April. This announcement comes hot on the heels of the game's massive debut, with Capcom sharing insights on Title Update 1 via a post on Steam. The company emphasized that the patch, arriving just over a month after the game's release, "will give hunters enough time to prepare for the new content, and challenges, that await them."
Title Update 1 is set to elevate the game's challenge level, with Capcom urging players to "Prepare your gear, and resolve, hunters!" The update introduces a monster of unprecedented strength, surpassing even the Tempered level, alongside another new challenging creature.
In a significant addition, Title Update 1 will introduce an endgame social hub for players. "A new place to meet, communicate, have meals together and more with other hunters will be added to Monster Hunter Wilds in TU1!" Capcom announced. This feature will be accessible to those who have completed the main story, encouraging players to dive deeper into the game's world.
The community's response to the new endgame gathering spot has been mixed. While some players are excited about this addition, others question its absence at the game's launch. This new area bears similarities to the Gathering Hubs found in previous Monster Hunter titles, though Capcom has opted for a different name here. Given that *Monster Hunter Wilds* currently lacks a central social hub beyond the player's camp, this update is anticipated to fulfill that need.

Amidst 'mixed' reviews on Steam, Capcom has also released a troubleshooting guide to aid players in their *Monster Hunter Wilds* journey. For those looking to dive deeper, resources are available covering what the game doesn't explicitly tell you, a comprehensive guide to all 14 weapon types, an ongoing walkthrough, a multiplayer guide, and instructions on transferring your character from the open beta.
IGN's review of *Monster Hunter Wilds* awarded it an 8/10, stating, "Monster Hunter Wilds continues to smooth off the rougher corners of the series in smart ways, making for some extremely fun fights but also lacking any real challenge."
