Monster Hunter Wilds: Ascendance caps off Capcom's redemption arc with a 'massive' expansion in 2027

In February 2026, Monster Hunter series producer Ryozo Tsujimoto confirmed that a "large scale expansion similar to Monster Hunter World: Iceborne and Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak" was in the works for Wilds. In a reveal at tonight's SGF showcase, Capcom pinned a name on its next hunting expedition: It's called Ascendance, and it's coming to Wilds in 2027.

Based on what was shown in the trailer, Ascendance—a "massive" expansion, in Capcom's words—will have hunters leaving the now-familiar regions of the Forbidden Lands and heading skyward into the floating ruins of the Wyverian civilization. That journey will seemingly entail a notable risk of aerial lizard bombardment. You've been warned.
