Monster Hunter: Wilds' Second Open Beta Dates Announced!
Capcom has announced the dates for the highly anticipated second open beta of Monster Hunter: Wilds, scheduled for two weekends in February 2025. Building on the success of the first beta (late 2024), this extended test offers another opportunity to experience the latest installment in the popular RPG series before its official launch on February 28th, 2025.
Monster Hunter: Wilds promises to be one of the franchise's most ambitious titles yet, featuring a vast, open-world environment brimming with diverse ecosystems and a wide array of challenging monsters. The initial beta provided a taste of the narrative, character creation, and monster hunting, including the tutorial and a Doshaguma hunt.
Beta Dates and Platforms:
The second open beta will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Steam across these two weekends:
- Weekend 1: February 6th, 2025, 7:00 PM PT – February 9th, 2025, 6:59 PM PT
- Weekend 2: February 13th, 2025, 7:00 PM PT – February 16th, 2025, 6:59 PM PT
What Awaits in the Second Beta:
Capcom has confirmed the return of all content from the first beta: character creation, the story trial, and the Doshaguma hunt. A thrilling new addition is a hunt featuring the fan-favorite Gypceros monster. Furthermore, players can import their characters created during the first beta, eliminating the need for recreation.
Addressing feedback from the first beta, Capcom acknowledges concerns regarding visuals (textures and lighting) and weapon mechanics. The developer assures players that significant improvements are underway based on community feedback, aiming for a polished launch experience.
This second beta is crucial for both Capcom and fans, offering a final chance to refine the game and build excitement before the full release. Whether you're a returning hunter or a newcomer, February 2025 promises an exhilarating experience for monster hunters worldwide.
