Monster Hunter Wilds Update 4 Unleashes Gogmazios Battle, New Armor & Weapons

Capcom has revealed the trailer and details for Monster Hunter Wilds Title Update 4, scheduled for release on December 16th. The update introduces the Elder Dragon Gogmazios as the primary new threat, featuring a special mission where four human players can enlist the support of four AI hunters, forming an eight-member team to tackle the challenge. This update also allows players to craft new armor and weapons. Defeating Gogmazios unlocks a repeatable mission that awards materials for upgrading Rarity 8 Artian armor into Gogma Artian weapons. In addition, hunters at HR100 can activate Transcendence functionalities, breaking the limit of Armor Spheres and further enhancing armor pieces. These upgrades will be valuable against both the new monster and the emerging threat of Arch-Tempered Jin Dahaad. (Image credit: Capcom) Next week, a Capcom livestream will reveal more information about Monster Hunter Rise and its RPG spin-off, Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection, which returns to story-driven, turn-based gameplay and is slated to release in February 2025 on Nintendo Switch 2 and other platforms. A collaboration update for Monster Hunter Wilds is planned for the same month.

Monster Hunter Rise Title Update 4 focuses on key enhancements rather than a major expansion. Players can anticipate balance adjustments and improved PC performance. The recent showcase emphasized how fan feedback has shaped Monster Hunter Wilds, aiming to make it accessible for both long-time fans and new players. Monster Hunter Wilds also includes significant updates for Twisted Reflection and Archtempered Arkveld. With a challenging new Elder Dragon, upgradeable gear, and a collaboration on the horizon, Monster Hunter fans have much to anticipate.

Official Name
Capcom Fighting All-Stars
Brief Summary
The shadow of fear was approaching Metro City. A man only known as Death, was running around Metro City with a bomb. The bomb was codenamed "Laughter Sun". Mayor Mike Haggar contacted the characters listed above in order to locate and defeat Death and then defuse the bomb. Codes were needed to disarm the bomb, and that is where the Code Holders subtitle of the game comes into play. D.D. and his teammates, Rook and Ingrid, were the Code Holders. Their codes are Ogre, Fallen Angel, and Isis. The game had a time limit, and depending of how long the player took to finish the game, the ending would vary. Originally, Capcom Fighting All-Stars was planned to be a 2D sequel to Capcom vs. SNK 2: Mark of the Millennium 2001, before being converted to 3D. However, due to SNK's financial troubles and restructuring, the title was redesigned as a Capcom-only crossover with twenty former SNK members designing it, using the models previously built for the original title. Like SNK's KOF: Maximum Impact games, it was designed to translate a 2D fighting game series into 3D. This was done previously in the Street Fighter EX series, which Capcom co-produced with Arika. Capcom beta-tested the game, but after negative feedback from players and more months in development, the game was canceled in August 2003. According to an interview with former The King of Fighters director Toyohisa Tanabe, a secret character from Tanabe's old company (SNK) was set to be playable in Capcom Fighting All Stars.. While not confirmed, the figure bears a heavy resemblance to K' or Kyo Kusanagi.
