Monster Hunter Wilds is getting new updates this year, which hunters who have already reached the endgame content can especially look forward to. The strongest monsters so far are coming to the game.
What is this update about? On the PlayStation Blog, Monster Hunter Wilds presents the upcoming content until March 19, 2026. There will be new event quests at regular intervals. At the end, hunters can even expect a free challenge quest featuring the battle-hardened Arkveld.
Even more exciting is the content from update Ver. 1.041, which can be completed on February 18 by those who have already reached Hunter Rank 100. They will be able to defeat new monsters with a difficulty of 10 stars from this date onward.
In a new quest, the battle-hardened Arkveld, the title monster of Monster Hunter Wilds, will make its first appearance. It must be defeated as the first monster, along with all special environmental quests, in order for the new 10-star monsters to appear in an optional hunter quest.
You can view the roadmap with the content here:
As a reward, old amulets that have the chance to be converted into rare talismans will be offered. They can be used to enhance Gogma-Artian weapons.
Additionally, there will be new items designed by the community itself. One will be a new great sword called Shard Soul, which looks like it is about to shatter at any moment. There will also be a cute charm called “Ravenous Attack” available in the game from February 18.
There are also plans for a collaboration with Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection. There will be new costumes and side quests that will remind you of the story-driven game.
Community plans their vacation around the new updates
How are fans reacting to the roadmap? In social media, predominantly enthusiastic reactions from the community can be found. Users on Reddit write that they find a bit of variety in the endgame appealing. Also, on X, a user was taken by surprise by the announcement of the 10-star monsters. He is looking forward to the update.
In another thread, a hunter writes that he finally knows his vacation plans. This suggests that he will likely plan his vacation around the updates to play the new content.
Additionally, some users are happy that complaints from the community regarding decorations have finally been fixed. They are already discussing how to best farm the new talismans.
However, there is also some criticism: All previous talismans and weapons would end up as total garbage, says a user on X. However, this is completely normal and a routine process in Monster Hunter that comes with every update.
Lastly, there was criticism regarding the performance of Monster Hunter Wilds. With the announcement of the roadmap, these critical voices have almost quieted down as some of the problems have been resolved.
