What time does Title Update 1 release in Monster Hunter Wilds?

“Title Update 1” is the first major update to Monster Hunter Wilds, coming out this Thursday. This free patch will bring loads of new features to the game like the Grand Hub, the monster Mizutsune, and Arena Quests.

According to the DLC roadmap, Monster Hunter Wilds has two updates in the works. The first one, The “Title 1 Update,” will be released later this week whereas the second is scheduled to release sometime this summer.

This guide will tell you what time Title Update 1 releases in Monster Hunter Wilds in several timezones, as well as give additional information on what to expect from this update.

What time does the Monster Hunter Wilds ‘Title Update 1’ release?

According to Capcom, Title Update 1 be released in Monster Hunter Wilds on Thursday, April 3, for those on the west coast of North America.

The official Monster Hunter Wilds stream did not give players a specific time that it will be released. However, we can get an idea of when the update will launch based on the scheduled server maintenance. A notification sent to players in the game via the Support Desk said that Monster Hunter Wilds will undergo scheduled maintenance starting April 3 to add Title Update 1 to the game.

Because this scheduled server maintenance is tied to the upcoming update, it’s likely the patch will go live once it’s done. Based on the information we have, here is when the update will go live in your timezone:

8 p.m. PDT on April 3 for the West Coast of North America
11 p.m. EDT on April 3 for the East Coast of North America
4 a.m. BST on April 4 for the U.K.
5 a.m. CEST on April 4 for Western Europe/Paris
12 p.m. JST on April 4 for Japan

Of course, server maintenance is never a given, so this is just an estimate from the developers and it might not work out this way. If there are any big changes that happen, we will update this article to include new information.
