Capcom followed its initial Ascendance reveal with weapon-specific breakdowns this week of the expansion’s new Boosted Actions mechanic, publishing separate videos walking through how the feature changes Great Sword and Bow combat.
The Monster Hunter Wilds base game, which debuted in February 2025 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC (with a Switch 2 version still in development), sold 8 million copies in its first three days and had reached 10 million by that March. Prior free updates have added a Final Fantasy XIV crossover and the Elder Dragon Gogmazios, ahead of Ascendance’s planned 2027 launch.
