Capcom has announced that a new major expansion is in development for Monster Hunter Wilds, similar to the expansions released for the last two entries in the series. Details on the expansion will be revealed sometime this summer. “We are currently at work on a large-scale expansion similar to Monster Hunter World: Iceborne and Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak for Monster Hunter Wilds,” Monster Hunter Wilds Producer Ryozo Tsujimoto said in a first anniversary video message. “We plan to share more information with you this summer, so please look forward to it.”
Additionally, the publisher announced that update 1.041 will launch on February 18. The update will add 10-star Arch Tempered Monsters, new Event Quests, and a collaboration with the upcoming Monster Hunter title, Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection, as well as a new event to celebrate the game’s first anniversary. A roadmap outlining plans for February and March was also released, alongside an update trailer. Monster Hunter Wilds is available now on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam.
