While the precise release date for Title Update 1 remains unspecified beyond an "early April" timeframe, fans are eagerly anticipating a confirmed launch date during the showcase. Alongside Mizutsune, the update will introduce new challenges and a communal space for hunters who have completed the main storyline to gather, socialize, and share meals.

Players have expressed their wishlist for Title Update 1, with many hoping for layered weapons—cosmetic changes to weapons without affecting their stats. Other desired additions include enhanced camera options and various quality-of-life improvements. As the PC version of Monster Hunter Wilds faced optimization issues during its launch, there's also a strong desire for ongoing enhancements in future updates.

The community's main focus remains on new monsters, fresh challenges, and deeper engagement with the game. Following a successful launch, Monster Hunter Wilds continues to draw attention, and Title Update 1 will set the pace for Capcom's future content strategy.
