Monster Hunter Wilds Title Update 2 will launch later this month, introducing returning monster Lagiacrus, new features, and balance changes to the game.
The game’s second major update has yet to receive a precise launch date, but it’s been confirmed on the game’s official Japanese X account that it will be released at the end of June. Full patch notes will be coming closer to the update’s launch, but we already know the update will introduce Monster Hunter Tri’s beloved monster Lagiacrus, which is expected to be somewhat reworked like it was in Generations due to the lack of underwater combat, a layered weapon system and some balance changes for specific weapons, including hammer and dual blades.

Monster Hunter Wilds launched earlier this year on PC and consoles, and has definitely moved the series’ formula forward by introducing some open-world mechanics that allow hunters to always stay out in the field and go after the monsters that appear on the maps as time passes. You can check out my review to learn why I think the latest entry in the series is one of the best Monster Hunter games to date.
Monster Hunter Wilds is the natural evolution of the formula introduced in Monster Hunter World, and one of the best entries in the series. While veterans may find the lower challenge level noticeable, and performance could definitely be better on PC, the improved onboarding and accessibility, a surprisingly engaging main campaign, excellent map and monster design, and refined combat make this entry a must-play for both newcomers and seasoned Hunters alike.
Monster Hunter Wilds is now available on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S.
