Capcom has set a date for the next major content drop in Monster Hunter Wilds. Free Title Update 4 arrives on December 16, 2025, and it's bringing back a colossal, tar-spewing fan favorite: the Elder Dragon Gogmazios.
The announcement confirms that the fourth free title update will be a substantial one, headlined by the return of a monster veteran hunters know all too well. New key visuals released alongside the news depict hunters in a desperate struggle against the massive beast, setting the stage for what is likely to be a grueling and spectacular siege-style battle.
The Ominous Black Dragon Returns
Gogmazios isn't just another monster; its inclusion signals a significant endgame challenge. First introduced in Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate, this Elder Dragon is infamous for its ability to manipulate a flammable, tar-like substance and for its sheer size, which necessitated the use of siege weaponry like cannons and the Demolisher. Its return to Monster Hunter Wilds will test the mettle of even the most geared-up hunting parties.
What else is in Title Update 4?
Beyond the headline monster, TU4 promises to deliver expanded endgame content. While details are still under wraps, this typically means new quests, new gear to craft from Gogmazios parts, and potentially new progression systems for dedicated players. The update also includes weapon buffs, which could shake up the current meta by making underused weapon types more viable for endgame hunts. As always, the update is rounded out with general performance improvements.
December Showcase to Reveal More
For those eager for a closer look, Capcom will host a Monster Hunter Showcase in early December. This digital event will provide an in-depth look at Gogmazios in action, detail the expanded endgame content, and break down the upcoming weapon balance changes. The showcase will also feature new information on the upcoming title, Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection. With a firm release date set, hunters now have a clear target to prepare for this winter.
