Monster Hunter Wilds: Ascendance Expands the Story of the Forbidden Lands

Capcom has shared exciting new details about Monster Hunter Wilds: Ascendance. The expansion, arriving in 2027, is more than just a typical content update. It is set to continue the main story while finally answering major questions about the history and ecosystem of the Forbidden Lands.

Executive Director Kaname Fujioka explained that the base game focused heavily on Nata and his personal journey. Because of this, many mysteries regarding the region and the origins of its creatures were left untouched. The team felt they did not have enough time in the original campaign to fully explain these elements.

Fans can look forward to a deeper look at the Elder Dragons when the expansion launches. By moving beyond the initial perspective of the story, Ascendance promises to fill in the gaps and provide a clearer picture of how this world functions. We cannot wait to see what else the team has in store for hunters.
