Capcom has officially announced the development of a significant expansion for its popular game, Monster Hunter Wilds. This news was shared during the game’s first anniversary celebration, where a new video provided details on the upcoming patch, set to launch on February 18. This patch will mark the conclusion of major content updates for the current game version, paving the way for what appears to be a substantial future enhancement.
In the video, Ryozo Tsujimoto, producer of Monster Hunter Wilds, hinted at plans for a “large-scale expansion” similar to previous successful installments such as Monster Hunter World: Iceborne and Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak. Tsujimoto stated, “We are currently at work on a large scale expansion… We plan to share more information with you this summer, so please look forward to it.” This statement has ignited excitement among the game’s fanbase regarding the potential features of the expansion.
While specific details remain scarce, speculation is already circulating about what the expansion might include. Fans are eager to learn whether this update will introduce a brand new region, alongside new and returning monsters from the series. The possibility of fresh armor and weapon sets, as well as additional gameplay mechanics, is also being discussed. Some enthusiasts are even hopeful for a new console announcement, potentially for the Nintendo Switch 2, to coincide with the expansion’s release.
For now, players can anticipate the arrival of Arch-tempered Arkveld and 10-star Arch-Tempered monsters, which will accompany the patch on February 18. In addition, a new side mission, event quests, and more content are on the horizon. Fans should also note an upcoming collaboration with Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection, which is set to launch on March 13.
As the gaming community eagerly awaits more updates, the excitement surrounding the future of Monster Hunter Wilds continues to build. Capcom’s commitment to enhancing the game experience reflects the company’s dedication to its players and the ongoing success of the Monster Hunter franchise.
