Capcom has unveiled preliminary details regarding the first significant patch for Monster Hunter Wilds, slated for early April. Following the game's launch, Capcom outlined Title Update 1 (TU1) in a Steam post. The early April release, slightly over a month post-launch, will allow players ample time to prepare for the upcoming content and challenges.
TU1 introduces a formidable new monster, exceeding even the difficulty of Tempered monsters. Capcom urges players to prepare their equipment and resolve.
A notable addition is a dedicated endgame gathering hub. This new area, accessible after completing the main storyline, provides a space for hunters to interact, communicate, share meals, and more. This feature, while welcomed by some, has drawn criticism from others who question its absence at launch. While resembling Gathering Hubs from previous installments, Capcom notably refrained from using that terminology. The hub aims to address the current lack of a dedicated social space within the game's design.

Furthermore, Capcom released a troubleshooting guide in response to mixed Steam user reviews.
For those embarking on their Monster Hunter Wilds journey, various resources are available, including guides on lesser-known game mechanics, weapon types, a walkthrough, a multiplayer guide, and instructions for transferring beta character data.
IGN's review of Monster Hunter Wilds awarded it an 8/10, praising its refined combat while noting a lack of significant challenge.
