Monster Hunter Wilds is only just starting to open its doors to various regions, but that hasn't stopped Capcom from already giving us a tease of what we can expect in the weeks after launch. The Monster Hunter Wilds roadmap is still pretty vague right now, but we do at the very least know that there are two free updates coming: One in early April, and one in the summer.
Capcom has just trickled a few interesting deets on what we can expect in the April update, though things are still mostly vague as we head into launch. We can likely expect a more in-depth view into the spring update once everyone is well into the High Rank grind.

Recent updates
February 27, 2025: The Monster Hunter Twitter account has dropped a few teasers for what we can expect from the first major post-launch patch, along with a vague release window. Details below!
Monster Hunter Wilds roadmap
We're still mostly in the dark about Monster Hunter Wilds' roadmap, but we know that there are two free title updates coming in the first half of 2025, bringing at least two new monsters, event quests, as well as stronger foes and some kind of social hub.
Spring title update
As we saw in February's State of Play, Mizutsune will be the first monster we get to face after Great Swording our way through High Rank. The serpentine leviathan debuted back in 2015 in Monster Hunter: Generations, being sadly absent from World before making a grand comeback in 2021's Monster Hunter Wilds.
Now, thanks to a series of Twitter posts from the Monster Hunter account, we have a little more information on what we can expect. Title Update 1 will launch sometime in early April, and will bring "a monster of formidable strength at a level above Tempered." Is that Capcom's way of trying to assuage some pre-launch difficulty concerns? Perhaps. That's not all, though, as the tweet continues: "Another challenging monster will also await you!"
Mizutsune isn't mentioned here at all, so it's unclear if it counts as either one of these formidable foes. At the very least, it sounds like we're getting an extra, yet-unannounced fight to dive into.
It also seems like there'll be some kind of centralised social hub or personal customisable space, with another tweet revealing the update will bring "a new place to meet, communicate, have meals together and more with other hunters". With a lack of anywhere to sit down and chill with your fellow hunters right now, I'm sure it'll be a much-appreciated addition.
Summer title update
Capcom noted that the second free title update for Wilds will be coming in summer 2025 with another additional monster and event quests.
