Hunting for Monster Hunter Wilds is becoming more difficult, leading to question if it's still possible to regain fan interest.
The highly anticipated Monster Hunter Wilds Ver. 1.021 update is set to go live on August 13, 2025, bringing significant changes to the popular action RPG. This update focuses on balancing various aspects of the game, including the Dual Blades weapon type and the Turning Tide Drill move.
For Dual Blades, players can now enjoy a short-duration damage boost, enhancing their offensive capabilities temporarily during combat. This is part of a broader effort to improve weapon balance and quality of life across the game.
Regarding the Turning Tide Drill move, while not explicitly mentioned in the patch notes, the update appears to have expanded move combos for certain weapons. This allows for moves that were previously unavailable immediately after specific actions such as encores or counters. For example, new counterattack moves and combos have been unlocked, increasing defensive utility and combo variety.
The update also introduces several new 9-star quests, each offering randomized Talismans as rewards. Unlike regular Talismans, these new Talismans formed from Glowing Stones have completely random skills attached, offering not only armor skills but also weapon skills and Decoration Slots.
In addition to these changes, the update includes overall weapon buffs (except for the Hammer), game stability improvements, and adjustments to several Armor Skills. The list of patch notes for this update can be found on Monster Hunter Wilds' official website.
The new Tempered monsters will come with a new rewards system tied to completing 9-star quests. However, this update does not address the ongoing issue of players being forced to hunt through a mediocre story campaign to reach the exciting endgame content.
Monster Hunter Wilds is available for purchase on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC via Steam. The duration of all cooked meals will be increased, and the player's opinion is that Capcom should give players the option to remove the flashing warning health bar in the options menu.
As the update for Monster Hunter Wilds continues to roll out, players can look forward to a more balanced and challenging experience. Capcom hopes that this update is a step in the right direction that will help Monster Hunter Wilds truly fulfill its potential and become one of the best games in the series.
