Capcom has announced that Monster Hunter Wilds will undergo scheduled maintenance next week to prepare for the release of Update Ver. 1.011. While online features including multiplayer will be temporarily unavailable during this period, hunters can still continue their adventures in offline mode.
What to Expect During the Monster Hunter Wilds Maintenance
The official Monster Hunter Wilds team shared the maintenance announcement via their official X (formerly Twitter) account. According to the post, the maintenance is specifically to prepare for the deployment of Update Ver. 1.011, though specific details about what this update will include haven't yet been revealed.
While the exact maintenance window wasn't fully detailed in the announcement, Capcom confirmed it will begin sometime in May (Pacific Time). During this maintenance period, all online functionality will be temporarily disabled, including:
- Multiplayer hunting
- Online events
- Leaderboards
- Other connected features
Can You Still Play During Maintenance?
The good news for dedicated hunters is that you won't be completely locked out of the game during the maintenance period. Capcom has confirmed that offline play will remain fully accessible, allowing players to continue their solo hunting expeditions without interruption.
This means you can still:
- Progress through single-player quests
- Craft new equipment
- Explore the dynamic environments
- Complete NPC-related activities
What Might Update 1.011 Include?
While Capcom hasn't shared specific details about the contents of Update Ver. 1.011, the maintenance suggests it could be more substantial than a simple hotfix. Based on previous Monster Hunter Wilds updates, we might expect balance adjustments, bug fixes, or possibly new content.
We'll update this article with more information about Update Ver. 1.011 once Capcom releases the full patch notes following the maintenance.
