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. Building on the successful first beta (late 2024), this offers another opportunity to experience the highly anticipated RPG before its February 28th, 2025 release.
Monster Hunter: Wilds promises a massive open-world adventure, showcasing diverse environments and a vast array of monsters. The initial beta included narrative sequences, character creation, and tutorial hunts.
The second open beta, available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Steam, runs:
- 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 first beta includes character creation, the story trial, and the Doshaguma hunt. A new challenge awaits with the addition of a Gypceros hunt, a fan-favorite monster. Furthermore, characters created during the first beta can be carried over.
While the first beta was largely positive, some feedback highlighted areas needing refinement, such as visual details and weapon mechanics. Capcom assures players they are actively addressing this feedback to enhance the game's quality before launch.
This second beta is crucial for both Capcom and fans. It's a chance to fine-tune the experience and further build anticipation for what could be a landmark entry in the Monster Hunter series. Whether a returning veteran or a newcomer, February promises exciting hunts for all.
