Brutal Collaboration with Street Fighter 6
What does the collaboration with Street Fighter 6 bring? The update implements the first major collaboration of Monster Hunter Wilds – specifically with Street Fighter 6. This brings you new quests as well as an exclusive armor set for you and your Palico.
The armor also comes with a special twist, allowing you to hunt with a new combat style. You can find all important information about the collaboration here: Monster Hunter Wilds: All important information about the collaboration with Street Fighter 6
Version 1.011 brings new hardened monsters and more frequent quests
Which monsters will be added? With the patch, you will have the chance to face Gore Magala, Rey Dau, Uth Duna, Nu Udra, and Jin Dahaad in a hardened 8★ variant. The previous 7★ hunts will remain available.
All these monsters have received adjustments with the update that make them tougher and more challenging. This includes increased health, resistance to injuries, and optimizations of multiplayer scaling.
Version 1.011 also offers improvements for quests. Higher difficulty quests will now appear more frequently, the higher your HR is. Additionally, the spawn rate of quests with multiple monsters as well as the appearance rate of hardened monsters with higher strength values has increased.
List of your captured endemic creatures and other improvements
In addition to some balancing adjustments to the weapons and some quality-of-life improvements (you can read more details on page 2), a new feature has also been introduced. With the patch, you will finally receive an overview of your captured small creatures.
To do this, visit the research tent in the Windebene to display the overview. There you can also check the names, sizes, and weights of your captured fish. If you want to keep specific creatures in your overview long-term, even if you exceed the storage capacity, you can favorite them.
This is especially worthwhile if you catch special monsters with unique patterns or features that are rather rare. This way, you can view them again and again.
Information about Title Update 2 and Layered Weapons
In addition to the patch notes, the letter also addressed Title Update 2 with a small outlook on the future. It is scheduled to be released in the summer as planned and to bring numerous improvements and features.
The most important and highly anticipated features that will be released with TU2 are the Layered Weapons and the option to disable the glow effect of buffs. Of course, alongside the dearly beloved Lagiacrus, who celebrates his return with TU2 after 16 years.
Additionally, further items that have now been confirmed will be added:
- New hardened monsters (8★)
- A special combat-hardened monster
- The hammer will receive offset effects for certain attacks and a follow-up attack after a successful offset
- Further weapons will receive significant adjustments, such as the dual blades (no specific details)
- Improved Saikrii user-friendliness
- The ability to display skill details with a single button press on various screens
- It is planned to add a switch for character display in photo mode
Further information about TU2 is expected to be shared soon. You can read the full patch notes on page 2.
Players are currently eagerly awaiting further information about the release of the second major Title Update 2. This not only brings back a monster that the community has painfully missed for 16 years, the Lagiacrus, but also promises a lot of new challenges that will add new spice to the gaming experience. At the same time, another question that the community has been asking since then will also be resolved: The 2nd Title Update for Monster Hunter Wilds unveils a riddle that has persisted for 16 years
