However, it can be assumed that there will be content after the story. In previous installments, there were title updates with new monsters and content even after the release.

What is known about the story of Monster Hunter Wilds: Ascendance?

The expansion takes place a few years after the main game. The Elder Dragon Lao-Shan Lung brought the various tribes together with the guild to build a new fortress that is safe from Lao-Shan Lung. In the latest trailer, we saw the monster destroying a location.

After the attack by Lao-Shan Lung, a new area with flying islands and new monsters appeared, which the guild wants to investigate. As often, this seems to also have an impact on the entire ecosystem. There, hunters seem to encounter a completely new Elder Dragon that can bend storms to its will.
