Hunt a New Beast!

Missed the first Monster Hunter Wilds Open Beta? Fear not! A second Open Beta Test is scheduled for the first two weeks of February. Following the success of the initial beta, this second phase provides another opportunity to test the game before its official launch on February 28th. Producer Ryozo Tsujimoto announced this exciting news via a video on the official Monster Hunter YouTube channel.

The Open Beta will run in two sessions: February 6th-9th and February 13th-16th. Available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, this beta boasts new content, including the formidable Gypceros, a returning fan-favorite monster.

Character data from the first beta can be carried over and transferred to the full game, although progress won't be saved. Beta participants will receive exclusive in-game rewards: a charming Stuffed Felyne Teddy weapon charm and a valuable bonus item pack to aid early-game progress.

"We understand many missed the first beta or wanted a second chance," Tsujimoto explained. "The team is diligently working to finalize the full game." While a pre-launch community update highlighted planned improvements, these refinements won't be included in this beta.

Monster Hunter Wilds launches on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S on February 28th, 2025. Get ready for the hunt!
