Monster Hunter Wilds’ Title Update Will Add DLSS 4, New Support Hunters, and More

by

On June 30th, the much-anticipated update, titled “Monster Hunter Wilds‘ Update 2,” will officially debut across all platforms following an early release on PlayStation. This update introduces Lagriacus and Seregios as new creatures to hunt, while also allowing players to take on enhanced versions of these monsters called “Tempered” versions.

Based on the updates, achieving the additional missions and advancing to Rank 41 or above will grant access to the Tempered Lagiacrus and Tempered Seregios. Additionally, Arch Tempered Utha Duna is planned for a future event quest, though it will only be available temporarily.

With Title Update 2, you’ll find several significant new features. For instance, Tempered Monsters will now roam in groups, two fresh Support Hunters join the crew, and you can opt for Erik as your Handler instead of Alma. Additionally, you’ll have the long-awaited ability to choose which Support Hunters accompany you on quests. Furthermore, Capcom is incorporating Nvidia DLSS 4 and AMD FSR 4. Notably, the former includes Multi Frame Generation technology.

As a dedicated enthusiast, I’ve discovered an intriguing aspect: Frame Generation can be independently tweaked from Upscaling! This separation seems to have reduced VRAM usage significantly, yet I’m a bit disappointed to find that other anticipated performance enhancements appear to be absent. For more comprehensive insights, I invite you to explore the patch notes below and delve deeper into the full details here.
