A planned expansion of Monster Hunter Wilds endgame content is going to be released early, the developers announced today.
The announcement was made on X where the official Monster Hunter account said: “The expansion of endgame content which was originally planned as part of Title Update 3 in late September will now be released ahead of schedule as part of the Ver.1.021 update. To accommodate this change, this update will be moving slightly out of its planned early August window to the date below”
It will now come out on 13 August 2025. It was originally planned for the end of September.
The update will also include a new difficulty level for quests, a new rewards system that uses Talismans, weapon balancing and a bunch of other unspecified things.
This will hopefully help address one of the biggest complaints players have had, which is the lack of endgame content. However, the single biggest issue facing Monster Hunter Wilds, at least on PC, continues to be the performance woes. It’s so bad that the Steam user reviews have dropped to “Overwhelmingly negative.”
The sudden desire to push out the endgame content is likely because sales of Monster Hunter Wilds have dropped significantly, as was revealed in Capcom’s latest financial results. While Wilds sold an impressive 10 million copies in its first month, it has only sold approximately 580,000 since then.
