Gogmazios and Arch-Tempered Jin Dahaad Join Monster Hunter Wilds

After a brief delay due to the 7.5 earthquake in Japan on December 9, 2025, Capcom shared the December 2025 Monster Hunter Showcase and offered more insights into Monster Hunter Wilds fourth Title Update and Gogmazios fight. The announcement also confirmed Arch-Tempered Jin Dahaad will appear after the patch, weapon adjustments and rebalancing, a Lumenhymn Festival of Accord, and a roadmap for both console and PC promised fixes and adjustments.

First, it will take a bit to get to Gogmazios in Monster Hunter Wilds, as we need to reach “A First Cry” in the campaign first. However, at this point people who have had the title for a while probably reached that point. Fabius and Nadia will be our companions for the first fight against the Elder Dragon, and it can be permanently accessed after beating it once. Gogma Artian Weapons and armor sets will be available to create from its parts. 

We will need to wait a bit to challenge Arch-Tempered Jin Dahaad. That permanent quest will show up on December 24, 2025. Likewise, the Lumenhymn event will not be available immediately, as that seasonal activity runs between December 19, 2025 and January 14, 2026.

Here are the screenshots for Gogmazios and armor based on it.

As for other updates, other patches are confirmed. In January 2026, there will be a Steam patch with CPU/GPU optimization, high-res texture pack updates, reduced stuttering during shader compilation, improvements to VRAM, and new graphics presets. In February 2026, there will be CPU/GPU optimization and 3D model polygon mesh quality levels. A February 18, 2026 patch will also bring with it Arch-Tempered Arkveld, a Monster Hunter Stories 3 crossover, and the design contest winners. 

Here are images showing the upcoming updates and weapon balancing changes.
