Alright, so picture this: Capcom just went all-out on a livestream, chatting our ears off about Title Update 2 for Monster Hunter Wilds. Honestly, I wasn’t paying full attention at first—my mind wandered, wondering if my coffee was cold. But then they dropped some juicy tidbits I couldn’t ignore.
First off, mark your calendars—June 30th it is! The game’s gonna take a little nap for maintenance, then bam, update time! And let’s dive into the big reveal right away. We’re getting new monsters! Say hello to Lagiacrus and Seregios. Underwater combat is making its splashy debut thanks to Lagiacrus. Imagine tussling underwater, and trust me, the freedom to swing your weapon will be nada. You can only get in on this if you’ve tackled the main mission A World Turned Upside Down and a side quest with a name that feels like a tongue twister—Forest Doshaguma.
Oh, and if you’ve done your homework on A World Turned Upside Down, Seregios is also waiting for you. Both monsters come with shiny new armor sets for both you and your Palico. Plus, if you’re up for more chaos, there are beefed-up versions of these creatures roaming at higher ranks.
So, what’s next? Oh right, the elusive Arch-tempered Uth Duna lands in late July. Sounds intimidating, but hey, that’s monster hunting for ya. You’ll need HR 50 to even think about tackling it.
Here’s a nifty update for those who love cosmetics and stats—layered weapons are finally here. Mix and match! You know, like wearing your favorite shirt with mismatched socks, but for weapons.
Other bits in this update include swapping your main handler—Alma’s out and Erik’s in. You also get an extra support hunter with a Sword & Shield. Handy or overkill? You decide.
And let’s not forget about the Festival of Accord: Flamefete starting July 23. Imagine decking out your camp with new decorations and armor while munching on special event meals. It lasts till August 6, so plenty of time to get festive.
Capcom’s putting a lot on the line with this update, especially with all the negative reviews swirling around like a bad omen. I mean, the game’s player numbers have been nosediving harder than my attempts at cooking. Can Title Update 2 bring back the spark? Fingers crossed.
