The new Elder Dragon is called Gundoraja. The expansion also introduces a new field, which sources describe with varying romanizations: GAME Watch calls it the Remains of the Cloud Dwelling (Kumoi), while Game Spark and Inside refer to it as the Cloudy Ruins or Cloud Dwelling Ruins. This field is built for three-dimensional exploration, with players using Seikret gliding and updrafts. The interview-style video, featuring producer Ryozo Tsujimoto, also introduced a new monster named Araqueta, also romanized as Araketa. At the Tokyo Game Show, both the PlayStation and Capcom booths will offer a playable quest to hunt Araqueta. The massive expansion Ascendance for Monster Hunter Wilds is scheduled for release in 2027 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Steam. The video offered a glimpse of a story that continues from the main game.","whyItMatters":"The reveal of Gundoraja and the playable Araqueta hunt at TGS signals that Capcom is positioning Ascendance as a major expansion, with the new field's vertical traversal mechanics set to define its gameplay.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe State of Play broadcast on September 3 also included an interview-style introduction video featuring producer Ryozo Tsujimoto.
