Capcom has announced that a day-one update for Monster Hunter Wilds is required in order to play the upcoming game. The update will be 15 GB and can be downloaded for both the physical and digital versions of the game.
After Wilds launches on February 28, players can expect new limited-time event quests featuring new special armor as rewards. Post-launch updates are also planned for Monster Hunter Wilds, including the first free title update planned for spring 2025. The title update will introduce the returning monster Mizutsune and new event quests. A second title update will bring a new monster and more event quests in summer 2025.
Fans can celebrate the launch of the new game with phase two of the Monster Hunter Now and Monster Hunter Wilds collaboration. This new phase will start on February 28 and last through March 31. During the event, Chatacabra from Monster Hunter Wilds will start appearing in desert habitats after completing a limited-time Urgent Quest. Rewards from the collaboration include an exclusive Seikret Rider layered outfit, Weapon Refining Parts, Armor Refining Parts, and Zenny.
Lastly, Monster Hunter Wilds launches February 28 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. Final Weapon gave Monster Hunter Wilds a 4/5 score, noting that it’s an excellent entry in the long-running series and a worthy follow-up to Capcom’s most successful game ever. Despite the performance issues, Capcom delivers one of the best-feeling combat systems in Monster Hunter Wilds along with the franchise’s first legitimate story mode. The day-one update will be available to download when the game goes live on Friday.
