Capcom has quietly released new trailers for the upcoming expansion, Monster Hunter Wilds: Ascendance. The expansion is set to launch sometime in 2027, but fans will have to wait until later this month at the Tokyo Game Show for more details. Capcom has begun releasing a video each day, detailing all 14 weapon types.
The first video focuses on the Great Sword and introduces a new modifier called Boosted Actions, available for all weapons. Boosted Actions allow players to build a special bracer called Boost Bracer by staying aggressive with attacks and activating the special Boost Driver attack or unique actions per weapon. Boosted Actions enable new combos, enhanced attacks, and new abilities, making it easier to defeat powerful monsters.
There are three ways to enter the Boosted state: activating a Brace Boost move (slow but big damage), activating Quick Boost (switching to a stance), and combining into Boosted by performing a specific combo. This will likely introduce a new resource system for players to consider when fighting. The community can expect an aggressive and faster playstyle, as Capcom aims to make the monsters more aggressive and challenging.
