As Monster Hunter Wilds approaches its February 28 release date, Capcom announced the action RPG’s first free update during the February State of Play live showcase, confirming a fan-favorite monster for a spring release.
Wilds’ first free title update will add the bubbly leviathan Mizutsune in the spring alongside “additional updates” and miscellaneous event quests.
Mizutsune was originally introduced in Monster Hunter Generations as part of its four core monsters. It was most recently seen in Monster Hunter Rise. It’s also received a few variants over the years, but for now we’ve only heard that its base form is coming to Wilds.
Mizutsune parts have historically been used to craft potent water-type weapons, and its elegant shrine maiden-themed armor sets have also helped it earn quite the following over the years. It looks gorgeous, it’s a fun monster to fight with a huge range of weapons, and its uniquely slippery ailment is more funny than it is annoying, so it’s hard to think of a better way to start Wilds’ lengthy post-release arc.
