Now just a couple short weeks away from release, Monster Hunter Wilds is preparing hunters for the journey into the Forbidden Lands with its official launch trailer, and the announcement of its first free major title update.
The new footage of the highly anticipated action RPG provides a glimpse of the challenges that await in this ever-changing world. The trailer featured Jin Dahaad, the massive apex predator of the Iceshard Cliffs, and a mysterious Rathalos that is unlike any other “King of the Skies” hunters have seen before.
Following the arrival of Monster Hunter Wilds on 28 February 2025, the game will continue to evolve with post-launch content updates. The first free major title update is planned for release in Spring 2025 and will see the return of Mizutsune, the sleek dancing Leviathan that ensnares its prey with immobilizing bubbles.
Starting the week after launch, Event Quests will also be introduced with special armour that players can earn as rewards.
The Monster Hunter Wilds second Open Beta Test will be happening this 14 February (Friday) at 11:00 AM to 17 February (Monday) at 10:59 AM (GMT+8). In the Open Beta Test, hunters will be able to challenge monsters such as Arkveld and Gypceros, explore the Base Camp’s Training Area, and experience additional online features, such as Private Lobbies and Online Single Player mode.
