- Quick Answer: This article covers the announcement of Monster Hunter Wilds' first major expansion, Ascendance, detailing its release window and initial content.
Monster Hunter Wilds' first major expansion was unveiled at Summer Game Fest, titled MH Wilds: Ascendance.
Capcom's latest in the action-adventure franchise had a fantastic start when it launched in early 2025. However, as months passed and the developer failed to fix some glaring technical issues while missing the mark on how endgame content worked, players started to express their dissatisfaction with Wilds.
Still, no one can deny that the game shipping over 11 million copies is a massive success. That being said, 10 of those were during its first month following release, so the drop-off has been incredibly worrisome for Capcom.
Ascendance showcased brand-new areas and bosses to tackle. It's being touted as the game's first major expansion, so fans will be disappointed that they will have to wait until 2027 to play it.
