Monster Hunter Wilds’ Second Free Update: New Fierce Monsters Arrive June 30 – PlayStation.Blog

Whoa, major news for all you Monster Hunter fans out there! So guess what? Free Title Update 2 for Monster Hunter Wilds is almost here, dropping on June 30. I know, I know — some of you probably scanned that date twice, thinking “is this real life?” But yeah, the Forbidden Lands are buzzing with new monsters, features, and maybe some surprises? Who can really say. Anyway, the latest trailer just aired, and it’s a doozy.

Okay, so the big headline? Our fave Leviathan, the Lagiacrus, is finally rearing its head. It’s electric, literally – like, this thing makes the sea bubble like a forgotten kettle. No clue why I thought of kettles right now. You’ll need to be at Hunter Rank 31 or higher, plus have cleared some missions. Do ya think you’re ready for it? No pressure, but some of it happens underwater. Sort of makes me think of how weirdly calming aquatic stuff can be… until it tries to zap you.

And then, there’s the shiny Seregios, flying in all flashy with its own set of challenges. It’s all about staying light on your feet unless you fancy some serious blade-scaly problems. Bleeding status anyone? Prepare with some steaks — why steak? Well, you’ll find out.

Oh man, and how could I almost forget the layered weapons bit? Basically, you get to look like a rockstar while wielding whatever you want under the hood. Surprise, it’s not just a fashion statement—function meets flair here! Sounds a bit like those vintage cars with souped-up engines. Ah, those were the days.

Handlers? Yeah, you can switch ’em up too. Eric and Alma — each has their quirks. Have fun trying to decide. And do keep an eye out for Mina, swinging her sword and shield like the queen she is. I’m not sure how she pulls off so much style while monster-bashing, but here we are.

Oh, before I run — Photo Mode. Photo. Mode. Get creative with some cool effects and filters. It’s like Instagram, but for monster hunts. If you squint, you might even see my attempts at symmetry in there. Ha! Kidding.

Keep your eyes peeled for the Festival of Accord. It’s like summer camp for hunters. Get your hands on special gear and food — think beach party vibes but more…monstrous, I guess?

Okay. Deep breath. There’s a Fender collaboration too. Yes, the guitars. Go figure. From air-shredding to the literal shredding of monsters, the crossover we didn’t know we needed. Anyway, the Rathalos Telecaster is a thing now… both in game and outside it.

Oh, there’s a road map too. Not the kind you’d use for road trips, but you know—keep checking for more updates. They’re promising more fun around the corner, but I wasn’t exactly born with the patience gene, so there’s that.

Okay, time to grab a snack and maybe dream about monsters and guitars. It’s not weird. Well – maybe it is, but anyway… Happy hunting, folks!
