Players of Monster Hunter Wilds Long for a Key Feature from World

Dedicated fans of Monster Hunter Wilds are voicing their hopes to see beloved features from Astera in Monster Hunter: World make a return in Capcom’s latest action RPG adventure. The massive success of Monster Hunter Wilds has cemented its status as the fastest-selling game in Capcom’s history, so it’s no surprise that players are keen to see elements they loved in previous games included in the updates.

Capcom is all set to showcase its first Title Update for Monster Hunter Wilds, which will be available to stream on Twitch on March 25 at 10 AM ET. During this presentation, players can expect an introduction to the new monster, Mizutsune, along with a glimpse of other exciting additions set to be included. While the official release date is still under wraps, the update is anticipated to drop sometime in April.

Recently, a Reddit user, AdviseRequired, expressed a longing for the hub world of Astera from Monster Hunter: World. Their post struck a chord with many, who reminisced about the hub’s music and how it brought back fond memories from their early gaming days. However, there’s a divide, as some players recall Astera’s vertical layout and emptiness that didn’t sit well with everyone. Yet, there remains a strong interest in seeing captured monsters at the base camps in Monster Hunter Wilds, reminiscent of Astera’s unique features. It seems AdviseRequired’s sentiment connects more with missing these functionalities rather than the aesthetic of the hub itself.

As the first update on Monster Hunter Wilds approaches, there’s growing speculation that it might reintroduce some of these beloved features. Rumors suggest the possible inclusion of a multiplayer hub, a sought-after element where players can congregate. In addition, the community is buzzing with hopes for player housing, which would allow gamers to showcase trophies and endemic life they’ve managed to capture. This dynamic feature was a highlight of Astera, and its return would certainly be welcomed by many.

Although some features from Monster Hunter: World haven’t made their way to the latest installment yet, the possibility always remains open for future updates. It wouldn’t be the first time that elements from previous games are incorporated into new entries. There’s an intriguing connection spotted by players between the notorious Fatalis and Zoh Shia in Monster Hunter Wilds. Some within the community speculate Zoh Shia might be a guardian variant of the iconic elder dragon. Fatalis has been a longstanding figure since the original Monster Hunter, cementing its legacy throughout the series. Despite some features still on the wishlist, the community is clearly optimistic about the future updates and development of Monster Hunter Wilds.
