Capcom will reveal Monster Hunter Wilds expansion this Summer

Released just under a year ago, Monster Hunter Wilds has not had the smoothest of rides, with the long-awaited title launching to explosive popularity, only to quickly be turned on as a result of plenty of performance issues. With a year’s worth of patches behind us, Capcom is gearing up to begin showing off Wilds’ expansion.

Alongside the full breakdown of Monster Hunter Wilds’ upcoming 18th of February update, the team at Capcom confirmed that they will be shifting their focus over to the game’s expected expansion, stating as part of their ‘1st anniversary message’:

“Thank you to all hunters for your support of Monster Hunter Wilds! While this marks the end of major content updates, the team is currently hard at work on a large scale expansion to Monster Hunter Wilds. We look forward to sharing the first reveal of the expansion this Summer.”

Both Monster Hunter World and Rise saw the eventual release of paid expansions which managed to sell nearly as many millions of copies as the base games themselves. That said, with faith in Monster Hunter Wilds having been shaken as a result of its launch woes, it will be interesting to see how fans react to the unveiling of a paid expansion.

Additionally, the use of the phrase “end of major content updates” seems to suggest that the game will be going mostly quiet for the foreseeable months. However, we will hopefully at the very least continue to receive bug and performance fixes in the meantime.

KitGuru says: Is Monster Hunter Wilds in a stable state by now? Is it too soon to start thinking about an expansion? What do you think sales will look like for the DLC upon launch? Let us know down below.
