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

Sure, let’s dive into this mess of a world that is Monster Hunter Wilds. So, I stumbled upon this wild – pun intended? Maybe. Anyways, Capcom dropped a bombshell during their June Spotlight. I mean, they really went all in on Title Update 2. Felt like they were carving up a big ol’ roast and dishing out heaps of juicy details. Not that I’m complaining… much.

Alright, let’s get to the meaty stuff. They finally let slip that Title Update 2’s dropping on June 30. Bright and early, they say – after they tuck the game in for a little maintenance sleep. Think of it like a morning coffee but for your game. Nice touch, right?

Now, what’s the big whoop with this update? Well, enter the beasts: Lagiacrus and Seregios crashing the party. Lagiacrus isn’t just swimming in for nothing. Nope, he’s dragging underwater combat with him. So, pack your swimsuit or… whatever hunters wear for that sort of thing. But don’t wade in until you’ve tackled the A World Turned Upside Down mission and hit Hunter Rank 31.

Seregios? Same rank, same mission. They brought their own fashion line too – new armor sets for both you and your Palico buddies. And, if you’re really feeling like a challenge, try finding their 8 Star Tempered versions roaming about. Fun times!

Then there’s Uth Duna popping up in July. Just when you’re getting cozy, he’s bringing his Arch-tempered fury to fry us all. HR 50, folks. It’s no stroll in the park. But hey, new craftables! Fashion and chaos, Story of my life.

And don’t even get me started on layered weapons. It’s like they finally heard us screaming into the void. So, now, you get to slap on visuals you want over the stats you crave. But, here’s the kicker – that final weapon needs crafting, and Artian Weapons need full reinforcement. Play hard to get much?

Oh, there’s a load of smaller bits too: handler swaps, extra support – an SOS buddy with a Sword & Shield. Phew.

Seasonal vibes, you ask? Flamefete’s blazing through from July 23 to August 6. More armor, gizmos, and a cantina makeover. Catch it if you can. The Grand Hub’s getting all thematic. Nice.

Before I lost track, Capcom teased Title Update 3 too, showing up in September. Fresh monsters, more of that seasonal jazz – whaddya know.

But let’s not ignore the elephant shrinking in the room. The game was huge. Was. Now, with popularity nosediving and a sea of negative reviews smashing its shores, who knows if Title Update 2 can keep this ship steady… or dock it for good.

What a ride, huh?
