Monster Hunter Wilds’ Second Free Update Introduces New Monsters and More on June 30 – PlayStation.Blog

—

Okay, so listen up. Something big is happening in the world of Monster Hunter Wilds, and honestly, it’s kinda cool. This new update—like, Free Title Update 2 or something—lands in the Forbidden Lands (yeah, it’s as dramatic as it sounds) on June 30. There’s this trailer, and I was watching it when I suddenly remembered I left my coffee brewing. But anyway, here’s the deal.

### Monster Hunter Wilds – What’s New?

See, there are these updates—not just any updates—think game-improvement-type-deal with cool beasts and tweaks to keep you from rage-quitting (hopefully). Game Director Yuya Tokuda (bet you didn’t expect me to name-drop) is supposed to drop some detailed letter soon about what’s really coming. Director’s Letter. Sounds fancy, right?

#### Enter the Leviathan: Lagiacrus

So, there’s this big ol’ Leviathan called Lagiacrus. Big deal, top of the sea food chain—like Jaws but way cooler. If you’re at Hunter Rank 31, then gear up ’cause it’s hunting time. Oh, and you gotta check off a couple of missions first (like ticking off a really odd shopping list).

Fighting this beast? Mostly on land, but sometimes you go underwater, and everything changes ‘cause weapons are, like, not really usable down there. Stay sharp.

#### Seregios—The Flying Wyvern

Then there’s Seregios, which sounds like a fancy cheese but is actually a monster. It flies and has these scales that’ll give you a real bad day if you’re not careful. They’re sharp. Not fun sharp—more like “bleeding status” sharp. Got your rations? Good. HR 31 hunters, you know the drill.

And hey, new armor sets for both Lagiacrus and Seregios. Fashion goals?

#### Layered Weapons & Extras

Did I mention layered weapons? You can make stuff look cool without losing the good stats. Aesthetic-meets-power kinda thing. Dive into crafting like you’re making the perfect sandwich.

You can also switch handlers now—maybe give Alma a break? Find a trusty sidekick like Eric. Doesn’t hurt, right? Also, Mina’s on board. She’ll have your back, hopefully.

#### Photo Mode (Yes, It’s a Thing)

Get artsy with photos. There are new effects and stuff. Adjust this, toggle that. Be the photographer you never thought you’d be, capturing monsters instead of weddings.

#### Seasonal Event: Festival of Accord: Flamefete

Ah, summer. Or maybe “Grand Hub gets a makeover” is more precise. From July 23 to August 6, the place is gonna be all decked out. New armor, gestures, AND meals? Yes, please.

#### Arch-Tempered Uth Duna & Stuff

Uth Duna is getting fiercer—slam fest July 30 to August 20. Craft some spiffy new armor if you dare to challenge this. And there are quests, quests, quests—all lined up nicely.

#### Fender Collaboration—Because Why Not?

Oh, and get this—a collaboration with guitar legends Fender. Play air guitar or whatever, in-game style. Rock it out from August 27 to September 24.

#### Cosmetic Extravaganza

Cosmetic DLC is here—extra flair without the guilt. New dances, stickers, you name it. If you’re a Premium Deluxe fan, more shiny stuff is coming your way with this update.

#### Looking Ahead

So, that’s most of it. There’s more juicy stuff with Title Update 3 on the horizon, end of September. Keep those eyes peeled, and don’t forget your gear.

Happy hunting, folks.
