Permanent event quests might be next for the action RPG

There are two things the Monster Hunter Wilds community has requested since the game's release earlier this year – permanent event quests and Arch-tempered variants – and now, thanks to the power of fans' FOMO, Capcom is introducing the latter.
That's right, Arch-tempered monsters will soon be permanently available to hunt in-game, as the developer reveals in a new online post. "In response to the requests we received regarding Arch-tempered monsters and their time-limited availability," says Capcom, "we are planning to make improvements in the future." Straying from the Monster Hunter Wilds roadmap, the studio is looking instead at what players want the most.
"Arch-tempered Rey Dau and Arch-tempered Uth Duna will be made permanently available to hunt," writes the dev. "Arch-tempered Rey Dau will return on July 23 with the Festival of Accord: Flamefete and will be permanently available from that date." That's not all, though. "Arch-tempered Uth Duna will be permanently available from July 23, arriving one week earlier than initially planned," as Capcom states.

There's potentially even more exciting news in the air, too, as the dev hints at the possibility of permanent event quests in the future. "We are considering making the event quests for the upcoming Arch-tempered monsters and other event quests permanently available as well," reads the post. "Once we've finalised the details of these improvements, we'll share exactly what they are, as well as when they will be implemented."
It's great news for fans, especially as "Overwhelmingly Negative" reviews on Steam flood the game's recent ratings. New comments prove as much, with some praising Capcom, saying "W for listening," and others calling the coming introduction of permanent Arch-tempered monsters "an amazing change." Many also share their hopes for permanent event quests, pointing to past entries like Sunbreak as an example of the system working well.

After spending years with her head in various fantastical realms' clouds, Anna studied English Literature and then Medieval History at the University of Edinburgh, going on to specialize in narrative design and video game journalism as a writer. She has written for various publications since her postgraduate studies, including Dexerto, Fanbyte, GameSpot, IGN, PCGamesN, and more. When she's not frantically trying to form words into coherent sentences, she's probably daydreaming about becoming a fairy druid and befriending every animal or she's spending a thousand (more) hours traversing the Underdark in Baldur's Gate 3. If you spot her away from her PC, you'll always find Anna with a fantasy book, a handheld video game console of some sort, and a Tamagotchi or two on hand.
