Alongside a new director's update, Monster Hunter Wilds is releasing a major new update for the game attempting to address current issues.

In the latest letter from game director Yuya Tokuda, Capcom finally acknowledged that there is something busted with Wilds' CPU usage. And it's apparently so thoroughly, fundamentally busted that it'll require multiple stages of fixes, the first of which is planned to land two major updates from now in winter.

With the arrival of new endgame content in a Monster Hunter Wilds update earlier this week, a pesky crashing bug also snuck into the game. But Capcom has stated that the issue has now been addressed with a hotfix. The patch notes also point to a couple of other problems getting rectified with version 1.021.01.00.
