While the exact release date for Title Update 1 remains unspecified beyond an "early April" timeframe, fans are eagerly anticipating a more precise launch window during the showcase. This update marks the first significant content expansion for Monster Hunter Wilds, and players are keen to learn more about what it will bring.
