During a recent presentation, Capcom unveiled an exciting new trailer for the massive expansion Monster Hunter Wilds: Ascendance. The video revealed the first story details, a new floating location, formidable monsters, and fresh gameplay mechanics.
Events and a New Sky Location
The Ascendance storyline begins after the events of the original game: the expedition team encounters the colossal Elder Dragon Lao-Shan Lung. To confront the threat, hunters erect the Madoi Stronghold fortress, and as the mists over Wyveria clear, the path opens to the Skybound Eyrie — a unique location high above the clouds featuring ancient ruins and unseen creatures.
New Monsters and the Boost Bracer Mechanic
Players will face serious Master Rank challenges and dangerous new enemies:
- Araketa — a pack-hunting aerial predator that manipulates air currents using its wings.
- Gundoraja — a majestic serpentine Elder Dragon capable of commanding storms.
- Boost Bracer — a new wrist-mounted device that temporarily unlocks new attacks, explosive combos, and enhanced mobility maneuvers.
The release of the massive expansion Monster Hunter Wilds: Ascendance is scheduled for 2027. As a reminder, Monster Hunter Wilds is also expected on the next-generation Switch 2 console.
