Monster Hunter Wilds Confirms a Large-Scale Expansion, Update 1.041 Launches Next Week
With its first anniversary approaching, Monster Hunter Wilds is starting to outline its near future. Capcom has confirmed that a major expansion is currently in development and that update 1.041 will be released on February 18, bringing new monsters, missions, and anniversary events.
The announcement was made by producer Ryozo Tsujimoto, who explained that the team is working on a “large-scale” expansion comparable to Monster Hunter World: Iceborne and Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak.
All The New Features In Version 1.041 And The Events Coming In February And March
In a video message, Tsujimoto stated that the first official details about this expansion will be shared during the summer.
Update 1.041 will introduce Arch-tempered Arkveld, along with several 10-star Arch Tempered Monsters, including Rey Dau, Uth Duna, Nu Udra, and Jin Dahaad. The update will also add new event quests, optional high-difficulty challenges, and a new side mission.
Among the most notable rewards are weapon designs and pendants created by winners of the official design contest, as well as a free voucher that allows players to edit their character and Palico.
Another key addition is a collaboration event with Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection, which will include a special side quest, themed equipment, and exclusive pendants. The game will also add a new voice language option: Latin American Spanish.
Capcom has also detailed the event schedule for February and March. This includes several limited-time Festivals of Accord, special anniversary quests on February 28, and free challenges that will conclude on March 19 with a final showdown against Arch-tempered Arkveld.
