Today’s Capcom Spotlight revealed some sneak peeks from their upcoming projects, such as Resident Evil 9: Requiem, Pragmata, and notably, the Monster Hunter Wilds Title Update 2. A significant chunk of the event focused on this update, showcasing fresh monsters and enhancements for Capcom’s highly successful Monster Hunter series.
It turns out that Lagiacrus, in its contemporary form, is among those unveiled. Equipped with electric-charged assaults, this leviathan seems poised to swiftly defeat unwary hunters upon its arrival on June 30. However, what took fans aback wasn’t merely the resurfacing of Lagiacrus and Seregios, but rather the reintroduction of underwater battles, reminiscent of Monster Hunter Tri, in the fight with Lagiacrus.
Underwater Combat in Monster Hunter Wilds
In Monster Hunter Wilds, the underwater fight against Lagiacrus isn’t as extensive as it was in Monster Hunter Tri on the Wii. As stated by the developers, this new aquatic encounter serves more as a stylish touch, offering a unique twist to deviate from the traditional land-based battles that the series is recognized for.
As a gamer, I can tell you firsthand that facing off against a Lagiacrus isn’t something to be taken lightly. Being a Leviathan, it wields both water and thunder, making its domain a potentially treacherous place for the unwary hunter. Its mere presence can pose a significant threat, and who knows? It might just pull out moves from its terrifying subspecies, the Abyssal Lagiacrus, which still lingers in the minds of fans as one of the series’ most formidable foes.
What Underwater Combat Means for Wilds’ Future
It’s worth noting that, should this be a unique fighting scenario with a sea creature, the inclusion of underwater combat could indicate that Capcom is aiming to enhance the overall hunting adventure with more engaging experiences in forthcoming updates. This development is certainly promising.
Because Lagiacrus isn’t typically classified as a Siege monster like Kulve Taroth or Safi’Jiva, the effort put into creating an engaging encounter for it demonstrates the team’s dedication. This bodes well for future updates, perhaps including an entirely new monster in Title Update 3 that challenges the norm and enriches the currently sparse content of the Wilds. It could potentially be the long-rumored “true final boss” of the game.
In future updates, it’s possible that Capcom could introduce Elder Dragons, each bringing distinct, battle-changing environmental mechanics. For instance, Kushala Daora could create sandstorms over the Windward Plains or Teostra might spontaneously set off the Firespring. The upcoming Title Update 3 promises intriguing developments that I’m eagerly anticipating.
The second update for Monster Hunter Wilds, titled “Monster Hunter Wilds Title Update 2,” is set to release on June 30th. This update comes packed with a variety of new features such as Layered Weapons, adjustments to weapon balances, and general bug fixes. However, it’s unfortunate that the performance issues on PC platforms are yet to be fully addressed.
