When a game earns its audience's devotion, that audience will always ask for more — and harder. Capcom, responding to the quiet dissatisfaction of veteran hunters who found Monster Hunter Wilds too forgiving, has moved its high-difficulty endgame expansion from September to August 13, a month ahead of schedule. It is a small but telling gesture: a studio listening, adjusting, and signaling that the challenge at the heart of the series still matters.
