Leading the charge in the first major update is the return of Mizutsune, a fan-favorite dragon-type monster known for its aquatic habitat and debilitating bubble attacks that can inflict Bubbleblight. Its striking pink scales and purple fur not only make it a formidable foe but also a source of some of the most visually appealing gear in the game.

The trailer showcased Mizutsune ambushing the new monster, Doshaguma, suggesting that its attack patterns will remain consistent with previous iterations. However, the specific location where hunters will encounter Mizutsune in *Monster Hunter Wilds* has yet to be disclosed.

Accompanying Mizutsune, Title Update 1 will introduce a fresh batch of Event Quests, accessible via the game’s Mission Board. These quests typically challenge players to defeat various monsters for rewarding loot. While the exact number of new Event Quests remains under wraps, they promise to keep hunters engaged and well-equipped.

Additionally, the update will include "additional updates" slated for spring, though specifics are currently unavailable. These could range from performance optimizations to other enhancements, crucial for ensuring a smooth gameplay experience in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. Feedback from the recent beta test suggests the game is on track for a robust launch.
