Capcom has announced Monster Hunter Wilds: Ascendance, a paid expansion planned for 2027.
The company calls it a large expansion and says it will continue the story from the main game. A full release date and price have not been announced.
What Capcom confirmed
Ascendance will add new quest ranks, locations, monsters, and weapon actions. Capcom also says new gameplay features will expand how weapons can be used.
Those details follow the usual shape of a major Monster Hunter expansion, but Capcom has not shown the full monster list or explained how many areas will be added.
The expansion is being developed for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
Switch 2 version
Capcom also confirmed that a Nintendo Switch 2 version of the base Monster Hunter Wilds game is in development.
The announcement does not say whether Ascendance will launch on Switch 2 at the same time as the other versions. It only lists PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC for the expansion right now.
Players should wait for a direct platform announcement before assuming the expansion will be available everywhere on day one.
What players still need to know
The biggest open questions are the release date, price, monster list, and whether saved progress will carry over without any special steps.
Capcom also has not explained the new quest rank structure or shown the expanded weapon actions.
The 2027 window gives the team time to share those details slowly. For now, players know that Wilds will receive a major story and gameplay expansion rather than only smaller free updates.
