Oh man, so the other day, I was just chilling, right? And then, bam! Capcom drops this massive info dump about Title Update 2 for Monster Hunter Wilds. I swear, my brain was still racing trying to catch up. June’s turning out to be wild, huh?
Okay, so they finally said when this whole shebang kicks off. Mark your calendars — Monday, June 30. I mean, things go offline for a bit, but it’s all good. Maintenance or some such thing. Anyway, back to waiting like it’s Christmas morning.
So, what’s the scoop? New monsters. That’s the biggie. Lagiacrus and Seregios, making a splash! Literally with Lagiacrus because underwater combat’s coming too. Like, what? Picture this: you’re floating about fighting this thing but, oh, you’re weaponless underwater. Sounds chaotic, right? It’s like kayaking without a paddle. Wild.
But wait, catch this: you gotta finish some quest first. Something about a World Upside Down and some Forest… Doshaguma? You gotta be HR 31 or so for that action. Heads up, both need completion of that same mission. New monster, new gear. Seems like a fair trade to me. But here’s the kicker — they roam wild at HR 41 if you dare, all eight star and whatnot. Yikes.
Right, right, almost forgot. Speaking of new things, there’s this Arch-tempered Uth Duna creeping in on July 30. That’s another level of tough. Why do we even do this to ourselves? HR 50 needed. Seriously.
Crafting fans, rejoice! We’re talking layered weapons. It’s this mix-and-match thing where style meets substance. You like stats from one but the look of another? Now you can have both. But gotta earn it. None of this freeloading stuff. Make sure you’re crafting final-tree weapons. Or, you know, something rarer than hen’s teeth, whatever floats your boat.
And I almost got sidetracked with weapons, but anyway—handing you the cherry on top: switch your main handler! Alma or Erik. Who wouldn’t love a bit of choice here? Special guest support too. But yeah, that’s another rabbit hole.
By the way, fire up those festive vibes. The Festival of Accord: Flamefete’s heating up July 23 to August 6. New event with a makeover. Who doesn’t love a good theme? Armor and camp decor to jazz things up. Just picture it—like a camp out of a fantasy postcard. Even your food changes up. Nice touch, right?
Oh, one more thing. Title Update 3’s lurking around September. More monsters, more fun. But, that’s future us’ problem.
Funny thing, amidst all this excitement, Wilds isn’t having the best time. Numbers are tanking over on Steam. Feels awkward for Capcom’s banner game to be outdone by its predecessor—ouch! Overwhelmingly Negative reviews can do that, I guess. Hopefully, this update’s what we need to turn things around.
But who knows? Maybe it’ll save the day. Or maybe it’ll just make for some epic fails. Fingers crossed!
