Capcom has big plans for Monster Hunter Wilds, which can be seen via all the upcoming content heading to the game. A big update is expected to arrive soon, and with it comes many things players are looking forward to. One of those that has caught the attention of many is the Grand Hub, a new location meant to be a centralized area for socializing and forming parties with people actively enjoying the game. Its implementation will certainly one-up the already established base camps, and will likely change the world of Monster Hunter Wilds for the better.
During the Monster Hunter Wilds showcase on March 25, 2025, Capcom revealed the first title update heading towards the game. The Grand Hub was one of the pieces of content shown to be planned to come with the patch, causing a lot of anticipation and excitement among the viewers. Given the number of things it’s expected to have for players to enjoy, it will almost certainly shove base camps to the side and become the new spot to do everything from, as long as it lives up to the hype.

Why Monster Hunter Wilds’ Upcoming Grand Hub Is Better Than the Game’s Base Camps
April 4 will be a big day for Monster Hunter Wilds, as the brand-new update, together with the Grand Hub, makes its debut for everyone to enjoy. The new hangout spot for players can be seen as a substantial upgrade from base camps, and it’s all because of what it plans to provide:
- Activities that give players a break from hunting, such as participating in arm wrestling competitions with other hunters, or the new Barrel Bowling mini-game
- A diva who performs songs every night, giving everyone in the Grand Hub a show that can help alleviate some of the stress and tension that comes with hunting in-game monsters
- An arena counter that lets players participate in quests involving the new leaderboard system, enticing hunters to see how they fare against others in killing monsters in the shortest time possible
- A new canteen where everyone can eat together, and whose carefully prepared meals may even be better than those of the current best foods in Monster Hunter Wilds
Unless Capcom does something to improve the current state of the game’s base camps, they’ll likely be left behind in favor of the Grand Hub whenever it’s convenient. This is likely only the beginning of the new hub’s features, too.
What the New Grand Hub Could Bring Back That Monster Hunter Wilds’ Base Camps Cannot
After capturing a monster in Monster Hunter Wilds, they’re usually left in whatever area they’re caught and will eventually get up and leave as if nothing had happened. However, instead of that, MH Wilds could send them somewhere where players can marvel at them. This was available in Monster Hunter World, and perhaps Monster Hunter Wilds could bring it back with the new Grand Hub. It should have the space necessary to include a viewing room or something similar for captured monsters, something that cannot be said for base camps. Giving players a consistent way to see whatever they’ve taken the time to catch instead of kill would be a great new avenue of immersion.
Playing Monster Hunter Wilds will not be the same when the Grand Hub finally arrives in the game via the update, as it brings a lot that can affect both the single and multiplayer experience. While base camps will still play a vital role for narrative purposes, the eventual patch will certainly demote them to stepping stones on the road to and from the much more sophisticated Grand Hub.
