It’s been a little less than a month since Monster Hunter Wilds came out, but its first major (and free) Title Update now has a release date. Title Update 1 will be coming out at next week, at the start of April, and with it will come the return of the bubble dragon monster Mizutsune. Players will be able to engage in new hunts for it and its gear alongside other features coming to the game.

Capcom shared the details on Monster Hunter Wilds Title Update 1 on the game’s social media this week. Monster Hunter Wilds Title Update 1 will release on April 3, 2025 in PT (April 4 in BST). The arrival of Mizutsune is a headliner in this update. This water leviathan has appeared in games since Monster Hunter Generations, but had a major recent showing in Monster Hunter Rise. Nonetheless, Wilds is a much more visually impressive game than Rise and we can’t wait to see Mizutsune in full action there.
