The long-awaited return of a Monster Hunter series favorite monster has been teased in a trailer for the second title update.

Despite taking a backseat, the monster has remained popular, coming in third during Capcom 's Hunters' Choice poll for the series' 20th anniversary. That fandom has paid off, as Capcom showed a clip at the end of the Monster Hunter Wilds Title Update 1 showcase which confirms that Lagiacrus is the next monster joining the game in summer 2025.
