Our review said it's "everything fans couldve asked for in a sequel to Monster Hunter World", and the game hit huge player numbers on launch day.While Capcom works to iron out performance issues, fans are no doubt looking to the horizon for what's new. Monster Hunter games tend to roll out fresh challenges after launch to keep players returning, and Wilds will be no different in that regard.Article continues belowWith the developer already confirming some additional post-launch content, and with more to come, here's everything coming that we know of so far for Monster Hunter Wilds.Content cannot be displayed without consentThe additional updates for Monster Hunter Wilds will be split into two categories: Free Title Updates, and Event Quests.Two Free Title Updates are confirmed so far, with the first in April 2025 so not long to wait at all. Title Update 1 will introduce Mizutsune as a new monster, as well as a level of challenge which is apparently tougher than the 'Tempered' monsters which currently mark the toughest foes in Wilds. It'll also add a Gathering Hub for players to get together in between hunts, presumably similar to the one seen in Monster Hunter World.DLC 2 has less information for now, but we know it'll come this Summer and bring at least one new monster. We're still hoping for the carpet-bombing Bazelgeuse which caused utter carnage in Monster Hunter World's post-game.Prepare for tougher foes than Nerscylla(Image: Capcom)Both updates will include Event Quests, which will be limited-time events with valuable rewards. These range from Armor Spheres for upgrading gear to whole new pieces of headgear and Glowing Orbs.As for a potential expansion, it's hard to say. Monster Hunter World launched in 2018, with an expansion following around 18 months later. Iceborne upped the difficulty and added new Monsters and regions.2021's Monster Hunter Rise, on the other hand, debuted in 2021 (at least on Switch), before Sunbreak launched a year later. Could we get the same for Wilds? A 2026 expansion could certainly increase the difficulty, but Capcom hasn't announced anything just yet.Article continues belowMonster Hunter Wilds is Capcom's fast-selling game in the company's history, selling more than 8 million copies in the first three days since launch.Now, if you'll excuse me, I have more optional quests to complete before Mizutsune gets here...For the latest breaking news and stories from across the globe from the Daily Star, sign up for our newsletters.
