Monster Hunter Wilds 2nd Open Beta Test Date Revealed

Monster Hunter: Wilds' Second Open Beta Dates Announced

Capcom has announced the dates for a second open beta test of Monster Hunter: Wilds, scheduled for two weekends in February 2025. This follows the successful first beta in late 2024, offering players another opportunity to experience the highly anticipated title before its launch on February 28th, 2025. Monster Hunter: Wilds promises a massive open-world adventure, setting a new standard for the franchise.

The first beta provided a taste of the game's narrative, character creation, and monster hunts. This second beta builds upon that foundation.

The beta will run across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Steam during these periods:

• February 6th, 2025, 7:00 PM PT – February 9th, 2025, 6:59 PM PT
• February 13th, 2025, 7:00 PM PT – February 16th, 2025, 6:59 PM PT

What Awaits in the Second Beta?

Returning content from the initial beta includes character creation, the story trial, and the Doshaguma hunt. A new challenge awaits with the addition of a Gypceros hunt, a popular monster returning to the series. Furthermore, players can import their characters created during the first beta, eliminating the need for recreation.

Capcom acknowledges feedback from the first beta, addressing concerns about visuals and weapon mechanics. The developer assures players they are actively refining the game's quality before release, incorporating player suggestions.

This second beta is crucial for both Capcom and fans. It provides valuable time for further refinement and renewed excitement for this ambitious entry in the Monster Hunter series. Whether a returning veteran or a newcomer, February 2025 promises a thrilling hunt for monster hunters everywhere.
