Monster Hunter Wilds expansion named Ascendance

gamingJun 6, 2026521,562

At Summer Game Fest 2026, Capcom announced Monster Hunter Wilds expansion Ascendance, teasing skyborne areas, new features, and hints of returning monsters. The trailer and reveal materials focused on vertical, skyborne zones that imply aerial traversal and altered combat mechanics for hunters. Capcom did not give a release date, positioning Ascendance as a major post-launch expansion that expands Wilds' world and systems.

Not My Problem™28

Switch 2 running Monster Hunter Wilds (unless they somehow found a way to fix the low resolution, LOD, & performance problems the game had on launch on both PC and Consoles)

playing dq8!19

they should make a good monster hunter for switch 2

While I really hope we get a Rise successor on Switch 2 I am so excited for this, unlike most people I absolutely LOVE Monster Hunter Wilds, I hope it launches in a better state than the PC version but Monster Hunter belongs on a handheld and I will absolutely buy it again

Nintendo Switch 2 Has All The GAMESSSSSSSSSSS

Honestly I'm pretty interested in seeing how this one runs. The Switch 2 does have DLSS, so maybe it'll perform better than the Series S version?

A game by the portable series team would've been nice too..... I've been having sunbreak GL withdrawals....

They should port World to Switch 2 first tbh. That'd definitely run great and probably give the devs some more experience getting demanding games on the console.

I assume this involves rolling up their sleeves and showing Capcom how to fucking port

For some reason this reminded me that Borderlands 4 was supposed to come out on Switch 2.

Should have made an exclusive one instead

Elden Ring and Monster Hunter Wilds...it seems buying a Switch 2 was well worth it.

if MonHun Wilds Ascendance is going to take place high up in the sky, then theres an opportunity to introduce Garuba Daora from Frontier to western audiences
