Alright, let’s dive into this mess. So, apparently, there’s this new update for Monster Hunter Wilds, and everyone seems pretty hyped—well, maybe not everyone. Anyway, Capcom had this big reveal where they threw a heap of info at us about Title Update 2. And trust me, it was a lot.
First off, mark your calendars or whatever—this update drops on Monday, June 30. But of course, they’ll pull the game down for a bit. Maintenance, they say. Kind of like when you go to your favorite diner, but they’re all, “No pie today, oven’s down.” Annoying, right?
So what’s the scoop? Monsters. New monsters. We’re talking Lagiacrus and Seregios—ever heard of them? Lagiacrus, oh boy, it’s bringing underwater combat. Yep, you’ll be floundering around sans weapon at times. It’s like trying to text in a pool. By the way, you gotta beat "A World Turned Upside Down" and hit Hunter Rank 31. Both newbies come with armor sets for you and your little Palico buddy. Oh, and if you’re a glutton for punishment, there are Tempered versions roaming at HR 41. Fun!
And then there’s Uth Duna—getting the Arch-tempered makeover, but not till July 30. If you’re the daring type and at HR 50 or above, there’s some fresh gear for the taking.
Jumping topics—crafting! You can now play dress-up with your weapons, keeping those juicy stats while making them look however you want. Just craft the final weapon in any line, and boom, redecoration time. Rarity 8 only, sorry not sorry.
Let’s see, what else? Oh yeah, you can switch from Alma to Erik as your handler. Plus, there’s an extra support hunter packing a Sword & Shield to join your merry band. Is anyone still with me?
And for those calendar peeps, jot this down: the Festival of Accord: Flamefete event happens July 23 through August 6. It’s got all the bells and whistles—new armor, camp decor, gestures, and even a makeover for the Grand Hub. The cantina’s got some special meals cooking too. Yummy, I guess?
Looking even further ahead, Title Update 3 is set for a September release. Apparently, it’ll introduce another new monster and the next Festival of Accord installment.
Here’s a curveball—Wilds itself is kind of struggling. Player numbers tanked on Steam, and the reviews are not pretty. Overwhelmingly Negative, ouch. So, can Title Update 2 patch things up? I wouldn’t bet my last dollar on it, but who knows? Let’s watch and see, like it’s the season finale of your guilty pleasure show.
