Get ready for an epic adventure as Monster Hunter Wilds gears up for a massive expansion! This popular game is about to get even wilder with new content and updates.

The developers, Capcom, have announced that a large-scale expansion, akin to the iconic Monster Hunter World: Iceborne and Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak, is currently in the works. This expansion promises to take players on an unforgettable journey through the Monster Hunter Wilds universe.

Plus, the winning designs from an official design contest will be featured, giving players a chance to wield unique weapons and pendants.

Monster Hunter Wilds Producer, Ryozo Tsujimoto, shared some insights in a first anniversary video message. He revealed that the team is hard at work on this expansion, promising to deliver a similar experience to the beloved Iceborne and Sunbreak expansions. Tsujimoto also hinted at more details to be revealed this summer, leaving fans eagerly anticipating what's to come.
