Capcom showcased fresh gameplay from Monster Hunter Wilds: Ascendance during the September 3 State of Play event.
This significant expansion will continue the narrative from Wilds’s base game, unfolding in a brand-new environment. Players will explore the Skybound Eyrie, a locale of floating islands suspended in the sky, alongside additional terrains to discover. Ascendance introduces the Master Rank, elevating quest difficulty, and features formidable Elder Dragons whose mere presence can unleash catastrophic environmental effects. These creatures join the roster of new monsters awaiting hunters.
The latest footage reveals iconic monsters such as Kushala Daora and Lao-Shan Lung, alongside a sneak peek at a mysterious Elder Dragon capable of manipulating storm clouds.
Hunters will also gain access to the Boost Bracer, a new accessory worn on the left arm. Activating this device provides a temporary power boost, intensifying the distinct abilities of all 14 weapon classes.
Monster Hunter Wilds is now available on PC (Steam), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, with a forthcoming release on Nintendo Switch 2. The Ascendance expansion is set to arrive in 2027.
