Monster Hunter Wilds has gone through a minor content drought after two months with no new monsters. The lack of content has led to some players taking a long break while they wait for the next major update.
Thankfully, Capcom has finally broken the silence: the highly anticipated Title Update 2, featuring the iconic leviathan Lagiacrus, is officially arriving this month.
The announcement comes after a growing wave of player frustration on social media. What finally pushed Capcom to speak up was an infographic shared by Monster Hunter content creator Shincry. In it, they compared the post-launch update schedules of Monster Hunter World, Rise, and Wilds — highlighting just how sparse Wilds’ content drops have been in comparison. While World and Rise kept had frequent updates, Wilds has fallen noticeably behind.
After Shincry’s infographic made the rounds in the community, Capcom responded swiftly, assuring fans that Lagiacrus will be arriving 'at the end of this month'; not the next, as some had feared.
What’s in Monster Hunter Wilds’ Title Update 2?
The crown jewel of this update is undoubtedly Lagiacrus, a long-requested, fan-favorite leviathan that many have been begging to return to modern Monster Hunter titles.

This means players can now craft Artian weapons to their optimal stats without sacrificing visual flair. Fashion hunters, rejoice.
Are There More Monsters Besides Lagiacrus?
That’s the question on everyone’s mind. Rumors have swirled that both Zinogre and Seregios were present in early development files but were cut before launch, and neither has appeared since.

Is Lagiacrus a Tough Fight?
We still don’t know if Lagiacrus will come with siege-style mechanics like Alatreon, Zorah Magdaros or Kulve Taroth, but given its status as a fan-favorite, it's safe to assume there will be some unique mechanics involved, especially to challenge solo players.
