Based on recent in-depth digging of Monster Hunter: Wild game files (especially the benchmark version), the latest analysis by community data miners pointed out that the main follow-up update plans for the game are basically clear.Based on existing evidence, Capcom is likely to have planned four major theme updates for Monster Hunter: Wilderness, rather than the five that some players expect.

Previously, data miners had speculated that this might mean the content of the fifth update (TU5) due to the existence of different "Omega" series armor designs in the file.However, the latest analysis corrects this view.The study found that between the game's benchmark version and the official version, the file structure changed: the alpha/beta set that originally occupied two ID bits was changed to two independent sets of alpha-level armor, "Omega" (divided in men and women) and "Bale".

This change means that all known armor sets in the file are currently in line with the benchmark version, leaving no clear ID space for the exclusive set of the fifth brand new monster.

Based on this, data miners speculate that the game's update roadmap is expected as follows:

The 4th bomb large update: will bring the final new monster - "Styroc".

The 4.5 bullet update: focuses on "AT Arkveld" and a series of complementary updates to the active armor, which are expected to be released during the 2026 game anniversary.This will be seen as an extra surprise rather than a large update containing a brand new monster.

Monster unpacking data

To sum up, all the currently available data point to Monster Hunter: Wilderness will use four theme updates as its main post-production content support.The giant serpentine will become the final battle of the basic game, while the Li Zhan Wang Lock Blade Dragon will shoulder the responsibility of the final challenge.
