Capcom to Release Patch Fixing Game-Breaking Bug in Monster Hunter Wilds

The update, scheduled for March 4, addresses a critical NPC issue but does not yet include fixes for ongoing performance problems.

Monster Hunter Wilds players reported a game-breaking bug in Chapter 5-2, where a key NPC fails to appear, halting story progression.
Capcom quickly acknowledged the issue and announced a patch to resolve it, set to go live at midnight PST on March 4, 2025.
The patch will also address problems with the Ingredient Center and Grill a Meal features within the game.
Despite its technical issues, Monster Hunter Wilds has been a commercial success, reaching over 1.3 million concurrent players on Steam shortly after launch.
Players continue to express concerns about significant performance issues, particularly on the PC version, which Capcom has yet to address publicly.
