Get ready for an epic adventure as Monster Hunter Wilds gears up for a massive expansion! The hunt is about to get even wilder! Capcom has announced that a large-scale expansion, akin to the beloved Monster Hunter World: Iceborne and Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak, is currently in development. But here's where it gets controversial... will it live up to the legacy of its predecessors? Only time will tell!
The game's version 1.041 update is set to launch on February 18, bringing a host of exciting features and events. Get ready for the introduction of Arch-tempered Arkveld, a formidable new challenge for hunters. Additionally, 10-star Arch Tempered Monsters will test your skills to the limit. And this is the part most people miss... the unique Event Quests will offer a fresh and thrilling experience, providing an opportunity to collaborate with the characters from Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection.
