Consider it or not, Monster Hunter Wilds is on the brink of have fun its first anniversary. Those festivities kick off on February 18, when Monster Hunter Wilds gets its next major title update that adds 10-star Arch-tempered Arkveld, the winners of the Original Weapon and Pendant Design contest, recent weekly event quests, and various events throughout February and March. As well as, those that missed previous Festival of Accord events can revisit them in the course of the anniversary event. Blossomdance returns from February 18 to February 25, followed by Flamefete from February 25 to March 4. Dreamspell’s rerun is scheduled from March 4 to March 12, while Lumenhymn finishes things from March 12 to March 19.
Monster Hunter Wilds can even get a collaboration event for the discharge of Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection. The event will include the one-of-a-kind Royal Palico Rudy Costume α Palico equipment and special Monstie-themed pendants.
The more exciting news got here in the course of the 1st anniversary message, with game producer Ryozo Tsujimoto confirming that Capcom is working on a large-scale expansion for Monster Hunter Wilds, much like Monster Hunter: World’s Iceborne and Monster Hunter Rise’s Sunbreak. Unfortunately, we’ll need to wait until summer to listen to more about it, but this is usually when Monster Hunter games get really good, not less than for players who seek tougher content.
We actually enjoyed Monster Hunter Wilds when it initially launched last 12 months, quickly spending over 60 hours in the sport as a bunch. We did bounce off of it earlier than expected, mainly due to ongoing performance issues on PC. We’re looking forward to going back each time the expansion launches, though, as we definitely find Monster Hunter to be a terrific time after we’re all playing together.
