Get Ready for Monster Hunter Wilds' Second Open Beta!
Missed the first Monster Hunter Wilds Open Beta? Don't worry! A second chance arrives in early February, bringing new content and features. Here's how to join the hunt!
A New Monster Joins the Fray
The highly anticipated second Open Beta Test offers players another opportunity to experience Monster Hunter Wilds before its official launch on February 28th. Producer Ryozo Tsujimoto announced the news via a video on the official Monster Hunter YouTube channel.
The beta will run in two sessions: February 6th-9th and February 13th-16th, available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. This time, players can tackle the Gypceros, a fan-favorite monster from previous games.
Character data from the first beta carries over, and can be transferred to the full game. However, game progress won't be saved. As a thank you for participation, beta testers receive in-game rewards: a Stuffed Felyne Teddy weapon charm and a special bonus item pack.
"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 detailed upcoming improvements, these changes won't be included in this beta.
Monster Hunter Wilds launches February 28th, 2025, on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. Prepare for the hunt!
