Monster Hunter Wilds players uncover a small but potentially meaningful detail about the final boss in Capcom's popular action role-playing game.

The first title update for Monster Hunter Wilds has been announced by Capcom, and comes with a brand-new area, new monsters, and time-ranked Arena Quests. The Monster Hunter Wilds update release date is April 3, 2025, and is free for all players. A new event, Festival of Accord: Blossomdance, is also on the way soon.

Monsters are split into different groups in Monster Hunter Wilds and one powerful category is the apex predator. These are the top of the food chain, which is important to know given that hunting them is required for one of the game’s Achievements. However, the game doesn’t tell you what apex predators are, but we will!
