Monster Hunter Wilds appears to have kept itself pretty busy during the Tokyo Game Show this past weekend, with a bundle of information drops made as the convention moved along about both the base game itself and its upcoming Ascendance expansion.
First off are the quality-of-life updates that will be available in both the base game and the expansion, which includemuch faster weapon switching, a broadenedmonster field guide that provides more granular information about things like monster weaknesses, the ability tochange weapons and armor individually from the exterior item box instead of from loadouts, even moreloadout options for things like item sets and shortcuts, andcustomizable HUD elements in case you’re one of those nutters who really, really hates the wavy health bar.
As forAscendance itself, Capcom has confirmed that two infamous monsters will be making their way back: the fiery elder dragonTeostra and the deeply upsettingKhezu. A YouTube fan hasuploaded a trailer of it in action for your viewing (dis)pleasure.
Finally of major note, Capcom has also confirmed that the character edit vouchers players could buy with real moneyare being eliminated when Ascendance launches, letting players edit their characters without restrictions. In the meantime, all players are being handed 10 free character edit vouchers and 10 free palico edit vouchers to use between now and when Ascendance arrives, and those who bought vouchers are being given free decorative pendants as thanks.
