Koei Tecmo is planning to have some heavy post-launch support for Wild Hearts, as they have confirmed that the title will feature free monthly updates, with the first slated for next month.
During a recent closed-door press presentation that MP1st was invited to, Wild Hearts’ directors, Kotaro Hirata, and Takuto Ed, revealed that while gamers will be able to beat and complete Wild Hearts’ main campaign, their journey won’t end there, as the team has plans for extensive post-launch support. This includes free monthly updates with content already planned for both March and April.
To give you a tease, here’s a breakdown of what you can expect in the next two months.
Wild Hearts March 2023 Update
- Subspecies and deeply volatile Kemona.
- Weapons variations and armor variations.
- Quests and more high-difficulty quests.
- Miscellaneous bug fixes.
Wild Hearts April 2023 Update
- New Kemono and deeply volatile Kemono.
- Weapon variations and armor variations.
- New Karakuri.
- Weapon and equipment enhance system.
- Quests and more high-difficulty quests.
- Miscellaneous bug fixes.
In addition, new emotes will be added, as well as other hunting rewards. The team didn’t elaborate on what kind of Kemona we can expect in these updates, nor what this weapon and equipment enhance system was. They also teased that events would be coming to the game. Hopefully, we’ll have more details shortly after the launch.
As for another piece of information regarding features, for those hoping that Wild Hearts would have a photo mode, you’ll be saddened by the news that it doesn’t. However, during our group Q&A, the team revealed that they are currently “thinking” about adding it via a future update. Mind you, that doesn’t mean it’ll happen, just that they’re looking into adding it potentially down the road.
DLSS and FSR support are also absent from the game for PC gamers, and at this time, they have no concrete plans to add those features.
Wild Hearts is launching Friday, February 17, for the PS5, Xbox Series X and S, and PC. Stay tuned for a review, as well as some Wild Hearts guides here on MP1st throughout the week!
