Lagiacrus, Underwater Combat, Seregios, and More Coming to Monster Hunter Wilds in Title Update 2

Alright, so here’s the lowdown on what’s popping with Monster Hunter Wilds. Capcom just spilled the beans on Title Update 2, and honestly, it’s like a massive info dump—but like, in a good way, I guess? They went all out during their June Spotlight thing, and yeah, I took notes. Mostly because I had nothing else to do.

First off, mark your calendar or something—June 30th, that’s the day it drops. But heads up, the game’s taking a nap for maintenance or whatever—nothing’s ever simple, right?

Now, the juicy stuff. New monsters. Lagiacrus is making a splash—literally. Underwater combat! Who even knew that was a thing you’d crave? But watch out; it’s not a walk in the park. To even face this beast, you gotta finish some mission called A World Turned Upside Down. And no biggie, you’ll need to be Hunter Rank 31 for that. Easy, right?

And speaking of intimidating names, say hello to Seregios. You’ll be bumping into this dude after the same main mission. Both of these guys come with fresh armor—because who doesn’t love a fashionable hunt?

Ever heard of Tempered monsters? Well, now there are 8-Star versions of these creatures roaming around. Oh joy, more challenges at HR 41 or above. Pack your patience, folks.

Switching gears, let’s talk Uth Duna. It’s getting an Arch-tempered makeover, not due till July 30. It’s like Capcom’s way of keeping the suspense hanging. This one’s for the HR 50 club, so if you’re not there yet—good luck.

Oh, and wait—layered weapons, anyone? Finally, you can mix and match weapon stats with looks. But there’s a catch—you gotta craft the final weapon in any tree to play that game. It’s like Capcom’s little twist to keep you grinding. Fun times.

They’ve got these smaller nuggets of joy too. You can swap your main handler to Erik from Alma. Who’s Erik? Couldn’t tell you—I got distracted by a donut crumb on my shirt. And a new support hunter swings by too, with a Sword & Shield. Handy, right? Or not.

Another thing: the Festival of Accord is getting a new theme—Flamefete. Sounds spicy, right? But don’t get too excited—it kicks off July 23. Great, more waiting. But yeah, it brings new armor, camp decorations, and, oh, event meals at the cantina. Gourmet alert!

Capcom teased Title Update 3 is on the way in September—because obviously, we need more monsters. And drama? Wilds has had a nightmare run lately, popularity-wise. It’s like, going down faster than I can hit snooze on my alarm. Steam reviews are tanking, just when they thought they hit a jackpot with their biggest launch.

So, the real question? Can Title Update 2 turn things around? Or is this just a bandaid on a sinking ship? Stick around, folks. The Wilds saga continues.
