The Lagiacrus made a splash inMonster Hunter Tri, setting a new wave of combat with its distinct underwater features. While hunters eagerly awaited its return inWilds, it was notably absent at launch. Thankfully, the Lagiacrus is making a comeback in an upcoming patch—here’s what you need to know.
MH Wilds Lagiacrus release date
According to theMonster Hunter WildsTitle Update 1 showcase, the Lagiacrus is expected to be released in thesummer of 2025. If you consider the timing of the first Title Update, we may anticipate an early June launch, but it could potentially arrive later in July.
While the official redesign of the Lagiacrus is still under wraps, a sneak peek at the end of the showcase offers a preview. Catch a glimpse of its iconic claws gripping another monster, along with its striking, scaled body—promising a fearsome return to the waters.
This announcement suggests underwater combat could finally make its way toMonster Hunter Wilds. If true, it would revolutionize the gameplay, just like it did withTrio. Underwater battles have always been challenging in the gaming world, so it’d be interesting to seeWilds’take on it.
In the previousMonster Hunteriterations, the Lagiacrus unleashed electricity from its back and took advantage of the water to inflict tons of damage. Once its health was reduced, it would scurry away to land, changing its tactics with the new terrain.
Monster Hunter Wildswill likely follow a similar formula, where players can break its tail, claw, and horns. you may also look forward to a newarmor set, potentially teeming with the striking blue tones of the King of the Sea. It’ll infuse your gear with a classic aquatic aesthetic, perfect for the watery theme of Summer.
Now that the launch for Title Update 1 has been confirmed, an official release date for the Lagiacrus will likely arrive soon. I’ll be sure to keep an eye out for any new updates. For now, you’re able to get ready for the Mizutsune’s debut, set for April 4. It’s a great time to raise yourHunter Rankto fend off beasts like the Lagiacrus and Mizutsune, especially since they require a certain level.
