Capcom released Title Update 1 for Monster Hunter World which introduces significant new content and gameplay enhancements for all platform users. This update introduces new monsters and a social hub which sets the groundwork for a full post-launch roadmap.
The dangerous and elegant Mizutsune returns to the franchise as the lead monster now available in Monster Hunter Wilds. Players who reach Hunter Rank 21 can unlock this slippery beast by completing an additional quest at the Scarlet Forest Base Camp by talking to Kanya.
The hunt roster now features Zoh Shia which was limited to a specific story sequence before this update. Players reach HR 50 to engage in this beast's full hunt with available craftable armor sets and weapons. Players who achieve Hunter Rank 41 or higher gain access to a Tempered version of Mizutsune once they finish its initial mission.
New 8-Star Quests and Grand Hub Social Area
Players interested in tough battles can now participate in eight-star quests while enjoying the new Grand Hub Social Area.
New 8-star quests now offer players the opportunity to fight resilient monsters who possess enhanced resistance and larger health pools. Seasoned players will find these missions attractive because they offer higher-tier rewards.
