Monster Hunter Wilds received its first update in April 2025, following its launch on February 28, 2025. This action role-playing game, developed and published by Capcom, gained popularity and was loved by gamers worldwide.

After a decline in players, Capcom has returned with a major update for the game. Let’s explore what this Monster Hunter Wilds update adds.
