Monster Hunter Wilds 1st Anniversary Week[/h2][p][/p][p]This week, on Saturday 28, it’s the first anniversary of Monster Hunter Wilds![/p][p]To celebrate, we’ve got two special Event Quests dropping on the anniversary day that are packed full of cosmetic rewards to mark the occasion.[/p][p][/p][p]
10★ Rompopalo[/p][p]Yes, you read that right, Rompopolo, the least hunted Monster in Wilds is puffing itself up with a 10★ version. The Rompest-Popolo will arise from the oilsilt in a uniquely challenging 10★ limited-time Event Quest, "Just What the Doctor Ordered". If you can survive, you’ll get yourself a bunch of unique rewards.[/p][p]It will have your attention now.[/p][p][/p][carousel]

[/carousel][p][/p][p][/p][p]That wrap’s up today’s post, thanks for taking the time to check it out! We hope you’re having a great time with all the new content, as well as looking forward to what you’ll be going up against real soon.[/p][p]If you’re looking for even more Monster Hunter goodness, make sure to check out the Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection demo. If you’re not familiar with the series, in a nutshell, it’s Monster Hunter, but a turn-based RPG where instead of hunting monsters, you hatch, raise and battle alongside them! If that grabs you, there’s a free demo on Steam AND your progress carries over to the full game at launch on March 13, so give it a go:[/p][p][/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p]Back to Wilds, thank you to you, the amazing Monster Hunter community, for your continued support, passion and feedback, you rock![/p][p]We’ll see you in the hunt!
