Monster Hunter Wilds: Ascendance Expansion Announced

Capcom has announced a large-scale expansion for Monster Hunter Wilds. Monster Hunter Wilds: Ascendance is planned to release on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S in 2027. The expansion will continue the story of the Forbidden Lands, as players explore a new land among the clouds. It will take to islands floating in the sky while including new combat and hunting abilities, plus the return of Elder Dragons and new Master Rank content.

Monster Hunter Wilds sees players joining the special Research Commission as it explores the Forbidden Lands and learns of the threat called the White Wraith, long thought extinct. In addition to including seamless transitions from story sequences into gameplay, the game adds new Seikret mounts, which can guide the riders to planned destinations and let them perform actions while riding, such as sharpening weapons and gathering materials, while also allowing players to swap to a secondary weapon without needing to return to base.
