Monster Hunter: Wilds adds Lagiacrus

The second free title update for Monster Hunter: Wilds has been officially confirmed during today's Capcom Spotlight stream. Arriving on June 30, this news comes after earlier leaks about the update's release date.

Returning Favorites and New Features

The update introduces two major monster additions: Seregios from Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate and the fan-favorite Lagiacrus from Monster Hunter Tri. While Lagiacrus was famous for its underwater combat in previous games, its Wilds incarnation will focus more on land battles - though players can still expect some aquatic elements during the hunt.
