Lagiacrus, Underwater Combat, Seregios, and More: What’s New in Monster Hunter Wilds Title Update 2

Hey, so let’s dive into this Monster Hunter Wilds update thing, alright? Capcom just couldn’t keep quiet and spilled a bunch of details in their June Spotlight. It’s kinda like waiting for your favorite pizza delivery but with a twist of monsters. Anyway—where was I? Oh right, the release date.

Mark your calendars for Monday, June 30. There’ll be some downtime, because obviously, they need to press big red buttons or something. Maintenance, they say.

Now, here’s the juicy bits. New monsters! Yeah, we’re talking about Lagiacrus and Seregios. And let me tell you, Laggy (that’s what I’m calling Lagiacrus) brings underwater fights—like who wanted this? But hey, gotta complete the main mission “A World Turned Upside Down” and side gig “Forest Doshaguma” once you hit Hunter Rank 31.

Oh, and Seregios? Same mission requirements, same hyped-up gear. Just imagine strutting in those new armor sets. Speaking of which, there’s some Tempered versions roaming if you’re feeling brave at HR 41 or more.

Then there’s this uber-tough guy, Uth Duna’s arch-tempered variant, making an entrance on July 30 in some epic quests—but only for those fancy HR 50 players. New gear to craft, so maybe worth the sweat.

Layered weapons are a thing now (finally!). It’s like dress-ups for your weapon. The stats stay but the looks can totally change, just need to craft or spruce up those Rarity 8 Artian weapons. Pretend to be fancier than you really are.

Let’s talk smaller quirks—switch your handler from Alma to Erik, why not? And there’s this support hunter with a Sword & Shield, guess they needed a sidekick moment.

Not at launch but coming soon, we’ve got the “Festival of Accord: Flamefete” from July 23 to August 6. Think of new armor, snazzy camp decors, gestures, and the Grand Hub dressing up all pretty. Special meals too—you can’t fight monsters on an empty stomach, right?

Oh, and save the date for Title Update 3 this September. Another monster and more festivities, because apparently, one isn’t enough.

Now, things haven’t been exactly peachy for Wilds—player numbers on Steam took a nosedive and reviews are hitting rock bottom. It’s a mess, honestly. Whether this patch will save the day or just be a band-aid on a bigger issue, who knows? Time to wait and see.
