Whoops — Sony just leaked Monster Hunter Wilds‘ Title Update 2 via the official PlayStation website.
The changes have been rolled back now, naturally, but for a brief while the Monster Hunter Wilds page on the PlayStation Store revealed the update is set to release on June 30.
As well as a firm release date, Sony’s website also confirmed we’ll be getting more events, layered weapons, the Leviathan Arch-Tempered Uth Duna, and two “fan-favorite” monsters — one is definitely Lagiacrus, the underwater leviathan, with the other widely speculated to be Seregios, based on datamine sources.
Oh, and this cosmetic armor set has also been discovered, too:
Capcom had told us to expect the “latest news” on the company’s upcoming games, as well as interviews with the developers, at its showcase later this week, so that’s likely when this information will be officially unveiled. The Capcom Spotlight livestream is set for 3pm PT/ 11pm UK time on Thursday, June 25.
The latest in Capcom’s long-running monster-fighting series brought in some big numbers with its launch, selling 8 million copies in just three days. That’s enough to make it the fastest-selling Capcom game of all time, well above the 5 million copies 2018’s Monster Hunter World shipped in 2018 and the 4 million Monster Hunter Rise shipped in 2021.
We gave Monster Hunters Wilds an 8 in our review, writing: “Monster Hunter Wilds continues to smooth off the rougher corners of the series in smart ways, making for some extremely fun fights but also lacking any real challenge.”
