Back in June, Capcom officially confirmed Monster Hunter Wilds was in development for the Switch 2.

Although there have been no updates about the release just yet, it's also currently preparing to release the "massive expansion" Monster Hunter Wilds: Ascendance in 2027.

During PlayStation's latest 'State of Play' broadcast, it's now shared the first proper trailer for this expansion, which you can check out above.

"The Wilds evolve with the massive expansion, Monster Hunter Wilds: Ascendance, coming in 2027! A giant dragon's sudden siege heralds change in the Forbidden Lands, for both land and sky. Bracing for danger, the Expedition steels themselves as familiar and undiscovered Elder Dragons emerge - and a disturbing new threat prowls the land."

Here's a look at some of the monster featured on the main artwork for this new expansion:

"The newly discovered Bird Wyvern, Araketa, soars the skies in packs. It is capable of high-speed flight by controlling powerful air currents released from its wings. Leaders of the pack can emit distinctive calls that enable them to command and coordinate the group's movements."

When we find out more about the Switch 2 version of Monster Hunter Wilds and the new expansion, we'll provide an update.
