Monster Hunter Wilds: Ascendance Officially Revealed With Switch 2 Version Confirmed
Capcom has officially revealed Monster Hunter Wilds: Ascendance, the upcoming story expansion for Monster Hunter Wilds.
The announcement arrived during Summer Game Fest, giving fans their first look at new content after a long period of teasing. The expansion is planned for release across all platforms in 2027.
Capcom also confirmed that Monster Hunter Wilds is now in development for Nintendo Switch 2. More details about this version will be revealed in the future.
A New Hunt Above The World
Monster Hunter Wilds: Ascendance will take players to a new land located above the surface of the world.
This new setting will introduce more monsters for players to hunt, including both new creatures and returning favorites. Hunters can also expect fresh gameplay built around faster movement and hunting from above.
The sky island area will be divided into several zones, giving players new terrain, new challenges, and new ways to approach the hunt.
The expansion will also introduce Master Rank, allowing players to climb the next level of challenge once again.
For longtime fans, this makes Ascendance feel like a major step forward for the game’s post-launch journey.
Monster Hunter Wilds Continues Its Expanding World
The main game, Monster Hunter Wilds, is an action hunting game where players become part of a research team traveling into a mysterious wasteland.
Players journey together with Alma, their loyal Palico, and a mysterious child. The game’s world features Multi-dimensional Biomes, where each biome can shift in unexpected ways.
These changes can transform areas such as deserts and grasslands, keeping exploration and monster encounters unpredictable.
With Ascendance, the game now appears ready to expand that world even further by adding a new skybound region and tougher hunts.
Available Now On Console And PC
Monster Hunter Wilds is currently available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam.
The game also supports Thai language, making it more accessible for regional players who prefer localized text.
Meanwhile, the Nintendo Switch 2 version is now confirmed to be in development. Capcom has not yet shared final release details for that edition, so fans will need to wait for a future update.
Monster Hunter Wilds: Ascendance sounds like the kind of expansion that can bring hunters back in a big way. A skybound region, hunts from above, new and returning monsters, and the arrival of Master Rank give the 2027 expansion a strong hook. The Nintendo Switch 2 confirmation also makes the game’s future even more exciting for players who want to hunt on Nintendo’s next platform.
