“Title Update 1” is the first major update to Monster Hunter Wilds, coming out this Thursday. This free patch will bring loads of new features to the game like the Grand Hub, the monster Mizutsune, and Arena Quests.
According to the DLC roadmap, Monster Hunter Wilds has two updates in the works. The first one, The “Title 1 Update,” will be released later this week whereas the second is scheduled to release sometime this summer.
This guide will tell you what time Title Update 1 releases in Monster Hunter Wilds in several timezones, as well as give additional information on what to expect from this update.
What time does the Monster Hunter Wilds ‘Title Update 1’ release?
According to Capcom, Title Update 1 be released in Monster Hunter Wilds on Thursday, April 3, for those on the west coast of North America.
The official Monster Hunter Wilds stream did not give players a specific time that it will be released. However, we can get an idea of when the update will launch based on the scheduled server maintenance. A notification sent to players in the game via the Support Desk said that Monster Hunter Wilds will undergo scheduled maintenance starting April 3 to add Title Update 1 to the game.
Because this scheduled server maintenance is tied to the upcoming update, it’s likely the patch will go live once it’s done. Based on the information we have, here is when the update will go live in your timezone:
Of course, server maintenance is never a given, so this is just an estimate from the developers and it might not work out this way. If there are any big changes that happen, we will update this article to include new information.
What to expect from Title Update 1 in Monster Hunter Wilds
The developers at Capcom have already given players a detailed breakdown of what to expect in the upcoming update. Based on the presentation shared on March 25, here is what you can expect from the “Title Update 1.”
It seems that Rebellion is rather pleased with the release of their brand-new game Atomfall, the company’s first new IP in years.
According to a press release from Rebellion, Atomfall is the biggest launch in the company’s history, managing to achieve 1.5 million players since launching on March 27. Well, March 24 if you include the 3 day early access period.
“To have surpassed the one million players in such a short space of time speaks volumes for the creativity and dedication of the entire team here at Rebellion,” said chief executive officer and co-founder of Rebellion, Jason Kingsley. “Our size and stability mean that we can take risks to create something as different as Atomfall. Happily, that risk is paying off.”
“We are a British company, and the game is a true reflection of that. Not only is it set in the lush, beautiful countryside, but Atomfall also draws inspiration from so many classic British books, films and TV series,” Kingsley continued, wielding a cricket bat and sipping tea in the process. “We hope that players continue to enjoy exploring the world of Atomfall and are looking forward to future content for the game.”
Atomfall, Rebellion’s new IP, explores the narrative around the Windscale nuclear disaster through an alternate history narrative. Its mystery and storytelling excel, though combat and survival elements fall short. This has the potential to become a cult hit, and a sequel could be excellent.
Note, that Rebellion is yet another company, much like Ubisoft, that is reporting total players rather than sales. That’s because Atomfall also launched straight onto Game Pass which likely accounted for a pretty decent chunk of the total players. Unfortunately, Rebellion didn’t share any actual sales numbers.
Still, it seems like Atomfall has done very well for Rebellion, especially considering it’s a brand-new IP. Just recently Rebellion released the very enjoyable Sniper Elite: Resistance, a much more established series and yet Atomfall has seeming done even better.
But they did choose to include some other random numbers. Apparently, over 316,000 of you heartless fuckers decided to kill the scientist who you meet at the very start of the game, for example. And over 300,000 cups of tea were also drunk, which as a Brit is an offensively low number.
Krafton has revealed a PUBG dating sim this April Fools, and yes, it’s real. Playable on the PUBG official website via both PC and mobile, those with a Krafton ID can hop in and get all romantic with anime depictions of various in-game weapons for redeemable rewards. The only catch? Generative AI has been used “to create variations of character and background images”.
Titled, Winner Winner Romantic Dinner, the dating sim comes with its own reveal trailer. In it, some guy feels dejected after getting constantly rocked over and over again in PUBG. Frustrated, he wonders “where is the love on the Battlegrounds?” before introducing the world to the AKM, AUG, Molotov Cocktail, and Kar98 in a way we’ve never seen them before.
You can watch the trailer here, just maybe don’t boot it up at work yeah?Watch on YouTube
If you’re willing to brave this unholy thing, rewards you can earn in PUBG include an exclusive spray, emblem, and 500 G-coins (in-game currency). So that’s not too shabby, and hey, free stuff is always nice. Better this than just make the April Fools gag and not actually do anything with it. Those of you who want to hit up a Kar98 for the love of the game will be happy to know you don’t actually need to play PUBG to try the dating sim, all you need is a Krafton account.
Sadly, as we outlined above, Krafton has outlined in the “Important Notes” section of its news post about Winner Winner Romantic Dinner that “Generative AI was used to create variations of character and background images.”
Why use AI for this? Krafton made $825.7 million in operating profit last year, something Krafton itself attributed to the “continued expansion and sustainability of the PUBG IP.” You know for a fact there are literally of thousands of artists online who would happily draw a blushing anime depiction of a Russian assault rifle if given the chance and some fair compensation for their efforts.
Is love in the air, or is that just an airdrop crate? Let us know below, as well as whether or not you’ll be giving this dating sim a try.

The Dark World: KARMA STEAM DECK SUPPORT IS UNKNOWN
Baldur’s Village is a fan expansion that adds the characters from Dungeons & Dragons RPG Baldur’s Gate 3 to the cozy, pixel art farming sim Stardew Valley. The head of Larian Studios, which made Baldur’s Gate 3, thought it was really cool. But Wizards of the Coast, who owns the D&D license? Not so much. The tabletop game maker hit the fan mod with a takedown notice and it’s no longer available to download.
Baldur’s Gate 3’s Karlach Actor On Playing The Beloved Barbarian
Created by NexusMods user BV and uploaded on March 8, Baldur’s Village added over 20 characters from the 2023 GOTY winner to the farming sim, along with new locations, shops, special items, dynamic story events, and other content. “So much love went into this—amazing work!” Larian CEO and BG3 director Swen Vincke wrote at the time.
But the fan mashup of two beloved games is no longer available to download on Nexus. “This mod is under moderation review,” reads a disclaimer added to the page on March 29. According to a spokesperson for the mod database, Wizards of the Coast was responsible for sending a DMCA takedown notice against the fan content for infringing on its ownership of Dungeons & Dragons, which Baldur’s Gate 3 is based on.
“This is an incredibly creative cross-over to Stardew Valley that the community loves,” the rep told PC gamer, adding that the Larian boss’ original endorsement “was nothing less than we would expect from the Larian CEO, who has been such a refreshing and visionary leader.” They continued, “Hopefully, this is an oversight from WotC, who often use external agencies to hunt down violating content, and they will revert their decision. Fingers crossed for Baldur’s Village.”
Larian Studios decided to move on to other projects instead of making Baldur’s Gate 4, and an executive at Hasbro, which owns Wizards of the Coast, recently told fans the company is taking its time with the project but will have details to begin sharing soon. “We’re going to take a very measured approach,” VP of digital games Dan Ayoub told IGN earlier this month. “We’ve got a lot of plans, a lot of different ways to go about it. We’re starting to think about, okay, yeah, we’re ready to start dipping toes a little bit and talking about a few things. And I think, in really short order, like I said, again, not to over-tease that point, we’re going to have some other things to talk about around that.”
Apparently someone at Hasbro or Wizards thinks a fan mashup of BG3 and one of the most popular games of all time in a non-competing genre might get in the way of whatever it’s doing with the franchise. Vincke wasn’t impressed with the move. “Free quality fan mods highlighting your characters in other game genres are proof your work resonates and a unique form of word of mouth,” he wrote on Monday. “Imho they shouldn’t be treated like commercial ventures that infringe on your property.”
He continued, “Protecting your IP can be tricky but I do hope this gets settled. There are good ways of dealing with this.”
