Capcom is currently prioritizing game-breaking bug fixes in Monster Hunter Wilds‘ first hotfix, confirming its release date. After highly anticipated open beta weekends, the game has enjoyed significant success, though not without some controversy.

Monster Hunter Wilds quickly reached major player milestones on Steam, highlighting its immense anticipation. However, its launch hasn’t been without issues, particularly with performance issues on PC.

With complaints about microtransactions and the campaign’s lack of challenge, some fans have expressed their frustrations. However, Capcom is committed to resolving these concerns, with a new update expected soon.

Amidst the ongoing player complaints, a game-breaking bug has been reported during the A World Turned Upside Down mission in Monster Hunter Wilds. A vital NPC doesn’t show up, preventing further story advancement.

Fortunately, Capcom has identified the problem and is preparing a fix. In addition to resolving the game-breaking bug, the upcoming hotfix will also tackle issues with the Ingredient Center and Grill a Meal features.

Monster Hunter Wilds Sets Date for Upcoming Hotfix Release

Good news! A patch addressing known progression blockers will deploy tomorrow morning!

When the update drops, players will be briefly removed from their online session, but you'll be able to jump straight back in after updating!

Capcom has confirmed that the next Monster Hunter Wilds update will go live on March 4 at 12 a.m. PST. Following the release, all online sessions will be interrupted, and players must download the hotfix before they can reconnect and continue playing online.

Although the hotfix will bring relief to many players affected by the bug, some are frustrated that Capcom isn’t giving enough attention to the performance issues plaguing Monster Hunter Wilds.

Capcom has for now provided tips to enhance performance on PC, but some players feel that this response isn’t sufficient and are hoping for a more comprehensive update to address the ongoing hurdles.
