During the Monster Hunter Wilds Showcase, Capcom revealed that Monster Hunter Wilds will be holding a second open beta. The beta will be available at two separate times:
- February 6 at 7:00 p.m. to February 9 at 6:59 p.m. (Pacific Time)
- February 13 at 7:00 p.m. to February 16 at 6:59 p.m. (Pacific Time)
Players who participate in the open beta test are eligible to get a Stuffed Felyne Teddy pendant item for the full game. Unlike the previous beta, PlayStation Plus will not be required to access the online features.
What is Included in the Monster Hunter Wilds Second Open Beta?
The Second Open Beta Test will include the same three separate experiences as the first: the complete character creation tool with character creation data that will be transferable to the full game upon release, a Story Trial, and the free-roaming Doshaguma Hunt. In addition, the Gypceros will be available as a huntable monster.
In the Story Trial, players can experience the opening cutscene of the game along with basic tutorials while hunting a Chatacabra, while in the Doshaguma Hunt, players can pursue the Alpha of a Doshaguma pack or explore the Windward Plains.
Both the Story Trial and Doshaguma Hunt can be experienced solo, or players can use an SOS flare to create a party of up to four players online or call in assistance from NPC Support Hunters. Players who participate in the open beta will receive a special bonus Stuffed Felyne Teddy pendant, which can be claimed in the full version of the game.
About Monster Hunter Wilds
In Monster Hunter Wilds, you play as a Hunter that has been appointed to the Forbidden Lands Research Commission by the Guild, whose job is to discover this unexplored land, full of new faces to meet and monsters.
Similar to past games of the Monster Hunter series, you’ll be able to create your own avatar. However, for the first time ever, your Hunter will have fully voiced dialogue. In addition, when you encountering a large monster while out exploring a locale, you’ll be able to begin that quest seamlessly, allowing for deeper immersion.
