The new Monster Hunter Wilds update is a make-or-break moment, and its first Elder Dragon isn't the biggest threat

Capcom has showcased Monster Hunter Wilds Free Title Update 4 in full, and the patch is set to be a real do-or-die moment for PC players. I've been playing again recently, and now that the event quest roster has been fleshed out alongside further additions like the spectacular Omega Planetes fight, it's been a good reminder that it deserves to rank among the best RPGs of this year. But when many hunters across a wide range of setups are struggling to run the game to a satisfactory level, it doesn't matter how much the battles slap. After far too long waiting, the first set of fixes has been confirmed, with more planned in the coming months.
