SteamDB Lists Monster Hunter Wilds: Ascendance Beta Test

A SteamDB changelist dated Nov. 10 records an app named “Monster Hunter Wilds: Ascendance Beta test,” suggesting Capcom may be preparing a test for the 2027 expansion. Capcom has not announced a beta or provided a date.

The entry is a backend update rather than a public announcement. It does not identify the test’s content, supported platforms or potential access date.

Monster Hunter Wilds: Ascendance was announced in June for release in 2027. The expansion will add Master Rank hunts, the Skybound Eyrie location and the Boost Bracer, which introduces additional actions for all 14 weapon types.

Capcom has revealed several monsters planned for Ascendance, including the Elder Dragon Gundoraja, the pack-hunting Araketa and the returning Teostra. The company has not disclosed the full monster lineup or a more specific release window.

Capcom previously held two open beta tests for Monster Hunter Wilds before its launch. Monster Hunter World: Iceborne also received a PlayStation 4 beta before release.

Capcom has not confirmed whether Ascendance will appear at The Game Awards on Dec. 10. The Nintendo Switch 2 version of Monster Hunter Wilds is scheduled for release on Dec. 4.
