An update for Monster Hunter Wilds will be deployed on the 4th March, but it won’t be the performance-enhancing patch that many players are waiting for.

Over the weekend following Wilds’ release, there were numerous reports of a game-breaking bug that occurs during Chapter 5 of the main story. Basically, there’s a quest where you’re supposed to meet up with a certain NPC, but the bug makes it so they don’t appear, thus halting all progression.

To Capcom’s credit, the developer highlighted the issue on social media almost as soon as it was discovered, stating that it was under investigation. The aforementioned patch is a result of the team’s efforts.

“Heads up, hunters: an update is planned to go live on all platforms at 12am PST / 8am GMT on March 4th with fixes for issues with the Ingredient Center, Grill a Meal and story progression in Chapter 5-2 “A World Turned Upside Down””, reads the latest social media post on the subject.

However, as mentioned, Capcom is yet to comment on Wilds’ disappointing technical performance. While we’re sure that the developer is looking into potential improvements, many were hoping that these immediate concerns would prompt an official comment on two — but at the time of writing, we’re still waiting.
