Capcom has announced a special weekend event for Monster Hunter Wilds, granting players access to the Grand Hub. The announcement came on April 4, 2025, inviting hunters to gather in this central location during the upcoming weekend.
Grand Hub Weekend Access Event Announced
Hunters, prepare your gear! The official Monster Hunter Wilds team has granted "weekend authorization" for players to access the Grand Hub, according to an announcement posted on April 4, 2025. The social media post playfully stated, "Weekend authorization granted. See you in the Grand Hub, p̶a̶r̶d̶ hunters!" suggesting a special weekend event or access period.
The Grand Hub appears to be a central gathering location in the game where hunters can meet, prepare for hunts, and socialize. This weekend event offers players an opportunity to experience this key feature ahead of or shortly after the game's official release on February 28, 2025.
What is the Grand Hub in Monster Hunter Wilds?
While specific details about the Grand Hub's functionality remain limited, the screenshots shared by Capcom showcase what appears to be an elaborate gathering space for hunters. Based on previous Monster Hunter titles, such hubs typically serve as central locations where players can access quests, craft equipment, prepare meals, and interact with other hunters.
The Grand Hub likely represents an evolution of the gathering spaces seen in previous Monster Hunter games, now enhanced with Monster Hunter Wilds' improved graphics and expanded features. The screenshots reveal detailed environments with the series' characteristic fantasy-meets-natural-world aesthetic.
What can players expect during the weekend event?
While Capcom hasn't provided explicit details about what activities will be available during the weekend authorization, players can likely anticipate:
- Access to the Grand Hub's facilities
- Opportunities to meet other hunters
- Possibly limited hunting quests
- A chance to explore the game's social features
- Potential early access to character customization
The timing of this event, coming shortly after the game's February 28 release date, suggests it could be part of Capcom's post-launch strategy to engage the community and introduce players to the game's social aspects.
