Monster Hunter Wilds: Ascendance Announced for 2027, First Trailer Drops
Capcom has released the first trailer for Monster Hunter Wilds: Ascendance, a large-scale expansion to Monster Hunter Wilds slated to arrive in 2027.
What the trailer reveals
Two new monsters: the bird wyvern Araketa and the elder dragon Gundoraja make their debuts.
A new locale and base will serve as the setting for the expansion's content.
Nata returns — now fully grown — alongside the Hunter, continuing the narrative from the base game.
The expansion has its own dedicated website and is already on Steam's wishlist page.
Two requirements are stated: ownership of the Monster Hunter Wilds base game, and completion of the 7★ assignment Awaking From a Dream before the expansion's content becomes accessible.
With an elder dragon and a bird wyvern already named, and a new region confirmed, Ascendance appears to be a substantial addition rather than incremental content — though the full scope remains to be detailed in future trailers.
Capcom has released Monster Hunter Wilds version 1.042.00.02, published August 14, 2026, to address frame rate drops that appeared on some systems following the rollout of Ver. 1.042.00.01. Installation is mandatory for online multiplayer and downloadable content access.
What changed
Bug fixes and balance adjustments — the patch specifically targets frame rate instability introduced by the prior update in certain environments.
NVIDIA GeForce: driver version 581.57 or newer is recommended for the most stable experience.
AMD Radeon: driver version 25.9.1 or newer is recommended.
AMD Radeon caution: known issues have been identified with AMD Radeon drivers 25.10.2 and higher on certain hardware, including the RX 5500 XT and RX 7800 XT. Affected users may want to hold at 25.9.1 until further notice.
Capcom notes that driver guidance is subject to change depending on NVIDIA and AMD support availability.
For players who noticed stuttering or dropped frames after last week's update, this patch — paired with the recommended driver versions — is the prescribed remedy.
