In response to player feedback, Capcom has released a crucial update for Monster Hunter Wilds. The hot fix patch Ver.1.000.04.00, announced on March 4, 2025, via the Monster Hunter Status Twitter (X) account, is now available across all platforms. This update tackles several bugs that were hindering player progress, including issues with the "Grill a Meal" and "Ingredient Center" features not unlocking as expected, the Monster Field Guide being inaccessible, and a critical game-breaking bug that blocked story progression in Chapter 5-2 "A World Turned Upside Down."
