Tokyo, Japan – Capcom’s wildly successful Monster Hunter: Wilds is set to receive its first major free update on April 4th, introducing new monsters, a social hub, and, as a result, scheduled server maintenance that will impact online multiplayer functionality.
The highly anticipated update will bring the fan-favorite Mizutsune, known as the Bubble Fox Dragon, and new incandescent dragon hunting quests to the game. Hunters will also gain access to the Gathering Hub, a new area designed to foster community. This social space will allow players to meet, interact, dine together, and even participate in arm-wrestling competitions.
To facilitate the update’s implementation, Capcom has announced server maintenance periods scheduled for March 31st and April 4th. During these times, online features, including multiplayer, will be temporarily unavailable.
Maintenance Schedule (Beijing Time):
- March 31st, 15:00: Server restart.
- April 4th, 6:00 – 11:00: Extended server maintenance (5 hours).
Monster Hunter: Wilds, released on February 28th, has quickly become a commercial juggernaut for Capcom. The game is priced at 368 yuan for the standard edition, 478 yuan for the deluxe edition, and 578 yuan for the premium deluxe edition on Steam China. Within three days of its launch, the game surpassed 8 million units sold, making it the fastest-selling title in the Monster Hunter franchise and the quickest Capcom game to reach the 8 million sales milestone.
The introduction of new content and social features aims to further enhance the Monster Hunter: Wilds experience, solidifying its position as a leading title in the action RPG genre. While the server maintenance may cause temporary inconvenience, the promise of new challenges and community engagement is sure to keep hunters eager to return to the wilds.
