Monster Hunter Wilds — Free Title Update 4 Trailer
Free Title Update 4 – Ver. 1.040 Launch Date: December 16, 2025 Note: Available once maintenance has ended.
Get ready to take on the elder dragon Gogmazios!
A mysterious elder dragon covered head to tail in a viscous black liquid, with a large weapon embedded in its back.
For this special quest, up to four hunters can join forces with support hunters to form parties of eight! Team up with Nadia, Fabius, and the other Expedition hunters to take down Gogmazios! The quest is available to HR 100+ hunters after completing the main mission "A First Cry."
Gogma Artian Weapons
You can upgrade Rarity 8 Artian Weapons into Gogma Artian Weapons using materials obtained from Gogmazios. Upgraded weapons will retain their existing reinforcement bonuses, and will also have one bonus skill and one group skill chosen at random.
Gogma Reinforce also allows you to retain your reinforcement bonuses or—for those with loftier aspirations—reset your skills completely. The Reset Skills option allows you to use Gogma materials to reset the bonus skill and group skill applied to a weapon.
Face Arch-tempered Jin Dahaad in the ultimate hunting challenge!
Hunters at HR 100+ will now be able to take on Arch-tempered Jin Dahaad in one of the most challenging quests to date! You'll also obtain materials to forge new hunter and Palico equipment.
Available: December 24, 2025
Added Features – Armor Transcendence Once you reach HR 100, your armor will be able to transcend, allowing it to be upgraded past its original limitations. Transcending raises the limits imposed on Armor Sphere upgrades and powers up the decoration slots of rarity 5 and 6 armor. Be sure to upgrade your armor this way to prepare for Gogmazios's toughest attacks!
– New Optional Quests High-difficulty quests featuring multiple 9★ monsters will be added. Complete these quests to receive special nameplates as bragging rights! (Note: You cannot qualify for the rewards if you join after a quest has started.) Hunters can also try their hand at Hunting Exercises, which pit you against tempered 9★ monsters in controlled environments.
– New Support Hunters New Support Hunters join the hunt! Wielding a light bowgun, Nadia will provide vital support in your fight against Gogmazios! Griffin, a great sword wielder from Ferrum Unit, and Nightmist, a light bowgun wielder from Aurora Unit, can also join you in battle.
– Seasonal Event - Festival of Accord: Lumenhymn
Get your hunting pals together to celebrate the next seasonal event, the Festival of Accord: Lumenhymn! Event Time: December 19, 2025 – January 14, 2026 (JST) Event Time: 12/19/2025 – 1/14/2026
The Grand Hub is ready to make you feel cozy with wintry delights! Enjoy a seasonal meal, special new equipment, gestures, and pop-up camp decorations.

A dazzling Grand Hub awaits you!
– Future Updates
The fourth title update will be the final large-scale update for Monster Hunter Wilds adding a new monster to the lineup. But that doesn't mean we're done just yet! After Title Update 4, we'll be releasing patches to improve the stability of the Steam version, as well as releasing a final update in February adding a new Arch-tempered variant.
