|-|New Story=
A new story is available as the expansion explores the ruined New World, trying to track down the Dalamadur and discover why it is acting so odd, and rampaging all over the continent, along with why the Bercrinox is following so closely...
|-|New Hub=
A new hub/base is available in Cataclysm, unlocked during the story, known as Lagura. It is situated in the Northern Island of the Glimmering Isles, and can be built alongside the people by completed certain optional quests, and customised by choosing building materials, statues and more.
|-|New Weapons=
2 new weapons to hunt with, being the Whip-Spear and Trapshot.
|-|New House=
A new house, in this case a mansion, is available for hunters once they complete the story of Monster Hunter World Cataclysm, with far more space for pets as well as a trophy hall for the skeletons and wall mounts from the new Trophy System. There is also a garden that is customisable in terms of plant types, allowing you to recreate the scenes of your favourite locales.
|-|Tailrider Stables=
A new location in your home to care for and bond with your Tailriders. These bonds can increase the statistics of your Tailriders, and can even let them learn new skills and attacks.
|-|Trophy System=
You can now send out Palicos and Tailriders on expeditions for fossils, artifacts and more from the New World's ancient past, for display in your trophy room. As well as this, each hunt in the Guiding Lands now has the chance for a certain bone of a monster, or more rarely a trophy, for you to collect, piecing together fossils will grant rewards for each one completed, as well as the trophies. These skeletons and trophies can be displayed in the Trophy Room of your new house.
|-|Monster Classes=
Cataclysm introduces two new monster class to Monster Hunter World: the Behemoths, the Rampart Wyverns and the Titan Wyverns.
*Rampart Wyverns (Japanese 鎧竜種 Armored Wyverns) are a flightless group of wyverns first introduced in Monster Hunter Ancestries and created by TheBrilliantLance. Like Brute Wyverns, to which they are distantly related, these monsters resemble real-life dinosaurs and are well adapted for life on land, but the difference is that they are quadrupedal with wingless forelimbs like Fanged Wyverns. Rampart Wyverns take their name from their armour—all species possess a heightened degree of it compared to most other wyverns, whether on their heads or on their bodies. In addition, they also display many other defensive adaptations such as horns, spikes, plates, and tail clubs. 
*Titan Wyverns (Japanese 竜脚類) are a class made by MonsterHunterFlacko, of monsters that resemble sauropods. As such, they are quadrupedal and have long necks, relatively small heads, thick, pillar-like legs, and long tails. Their size varies, but they tend to be rather large creatures, often being several meters tall and several meters longer. However, there are a few known species that are quite small. They are typically herbivores, but some are known to be omnivores and even carnivores. They are considered to be closely related to the Rampart Wyvern class.
As well as this, some monsters have been reclassified:
*The Herbivore class has been split up into the other classes.
**Gastodon and Kestodon are now classified as Brute Wyverns.
**Anteka, Kelbi, Moofah, Mosswine and Popo are now classified as Fanged Beasts.
**Apceros, Aptonoth and Rhenoplos are now classified as Rampart Wyverns.
**Larinoth is now classified as a Titan Wyvern.
*Subspecies like Black Diablos, Shah Dalamadur and Crimson Fatalis now classed as variants, while some like White Fatalis are classified as Rare Species.
|-|New Elements=
Cataclysm adds two new elements, both to the hunter's weapons as well as the monsters. These are listed as follows:
*Earth
*Nature
|-|Gameplay features=
Monster Hunter World Cataclysm introduces several new gameplay features and alterations.
*Cataclysm introduces G-Rank as the rank above Master Rank, and includes slight revamps of monsters already seen in Master Rank, as well as some new locations to face off against these familiar monsters.
*Improved and unique turf wars, as well as other monster interactions with their environments and each other.
*Extended Tailrider abilities and utilities. Grimalkyne, Gajalaka and Boaboa Tailriders will gain new abilities, and some Large Monsters will also gain the ability to become a temporary Tailrider, though this is limited.
**The Large Monsters that can become limited Tailriders are Kurdanoth, Great Jagras, Great Girros, Kurdanoth, Auros, Benitrilos and Sleeras. 
*Reworked Clutch Claw and Tenderiser skill. Rather than decrease the amount of damage done to a Monster when a part is not tenderised by a Clucth Claw attack, a Hunter will instead gain a small amount of damage increase as well as greater Part Break damage when striking a tenderised part.

<tabber>Teaser Trailer=
===Monster Hunter World Cataclysm Teaser===
We see a group of hunters eyeing their prey, a Nargacuga, in the brush of the Ancient Forest. One motions to another to set up a pitfall trap nearby, and when set, all charge at the monster. It snarls and begins to attack. In the flurry of combat, it is injured severely, and falls into the trap, and is quickly captured. The team arrives in Astera, monster in tow, and are greeted by the research team, excited about the new capture.
Suddenly, a massive tremor is felt, and the world turns upside down as a massive claw smashes into Astera. After a moment of darkness, with only a heartbeat and panting heard, a Hunter is pulled to their feet by another, and they gather around with other survivors. In shaky shots, we see the back of the Dalamadur continue its march towards some unknown objective, as the video fades to black. The title, Monster Hunter World: Cataclysm comes into view, along with the release date, and the video ends.

===Monster Hunter World Cataclysm Gameplay Trailer===
We first hear the voice of the Commander on a black screen stating bluntly: "Astera lies in ruins. Our home is gone.". After this the trailer's visuals begin with the devastation left in the Dalamadur's wake, Astera reduced to broken wood and rubble, flames consuming the wreckage as the Hunter and Handler arrive to the scene and watch in horror, with the Handler asking what should be done now. The Admiral arrives and put forward a suggestion to find a new home. The scene then cuts to the iconic "Capcom Presents" and fades into a full view of the Glimmering Isles, showing off the jungles and beaches, with Moofah and Hermitaur seen in these respective places. The Hunter is seen in-game walking through these places, showing off some endemic life and walking past a Larinoth.
The scene then transitions to the cutscene involving the Kuge Mantinoma, the Hunter dodging past its young to face off with the creature itself. It then switches to active gameplay, showcasing the Kuge Mantinoma's ability to create explosive spikes and punch ferociously with its front limbs, as well as showing off the Whip-Spear as the Hunter attacks back. Next, the beginning of the second cutscene with Litanu is shown, and the Hunter shows off the Trapshot as the Litanu roars and attacks, showcasing the brute strength and sharp tail at its disposal. Next, the Hunter is seen looking at tracks in the Wildspire Waste, and is suddenly attacked by a Seregios, allowing it to show off its signature scale throws and soaring kicks.
After the gameplay segment, there is a short display of the cutscene involving Bercrinox, without showing off the Dalamadur involved, showing its roar and manic eyes off as we see the Hunter, Handler, Commander and Aiden reacting with visible fear in their eyes before fading into the title: Monster Hunter World Cataclysm.

===Monster Hunter World Cataclysm Story Trailer===
The trailer opens on a sandy beach, a jungle seen looming over the camera as it pans upwards, then cutting to a shot of some murky water in a swamp-like area, a green and purple fin rising from the depths for a moment before the scene fades into the typical "Capcom Presents". 
The next scene opens on the core Commission group, the Commander, the Third Fleet Master, the Second Fleet Master, the Serious Handler, Aiden, the Handler and the Hunter, all standing on the prow of a ship, water spray up from the sea below as they gaze out over the horizon. Suddenly the Handler points out, crying "Look ! There it is !" and the scene cuts to a wide shot of the Glimmering Isles, specifically the North Island. Next, there are a few scenes of basic camp being made, the Smithy being set up, researchers carrying books and the chefs pulling ingredients in a cart. The Commander is heard saying: "This is the place we will call our home... Lagura." as more shots of the camp being set up are shown, and he continues, saying: "However, we must make sure this land is not too dangerous to settle." 
The next shot opens on a swampy location on the Marsh Island of the Glimmering Isles, as that fin rises from the murk, swimming quickly towards the Hunter and splashing everywhere as the Marshland Zamtrios erupts from the water, narrowly missing the Hunter, and turning with a snarl. Next, some in-game footage is captured of the Marshland Zamtrios attacking the Hunter, who is clad in G-Rank Barroth gear and with a Beotodus Charge Blade. It first performs a Claw Swipe, in the next shot a Slime Spit, then two more shots showing it inflate before crashing down on the Hunter with its Slime Bomb attack. The next shot shows a small snippet of Bercrinox's hunt cutscene, showing it roaring at the camera, before small shots of gameplay, showing it slashing forward with its arm-blades and ending with a bite, the scene cutting to black. Next, we're shown Najarala's head rising from the dunes in the Wildspire Waste, hissing at the Hunter, before cutting to some gameplay with the monster, the Najarala throwing around scales, biting at the Hunters and ending with it coiling around two Hunters, rearing up before cutting to black.
The next shot shows a short segment of the boat ride mechanic in the Glimmering Isles, the Hunter rowing the boat past several of its islands, as the Handler talks: "This place really could become a new home for us... I mean look at all these beautiful islands !!! We have to protect them, no matter the cost !!!" As she states the last sentence, we see Dalamadur's head rising from the smoke of Astera and it roars to the sky, fading out in the title; Monster Hunter World Cataclysm.
From the darkness comes a sudden gust of winter wind, carrying snow that covers the black screen, and a familiar trumpeting roar is heard.
