This ambitious title is poised to be a major contender in 2025's gaming landscape.
Monster Hunter: Wilds promises a vast open world teeming with diverse ecosystems and challenging monsters. The first beta provided a taste of the narrative, character creation, and some initial hunts.
The second open beta will run across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Steam during these periods:

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 initial beta can be carried over, saving players valuable time.
Capcom acknowledges feedback from the first beta, addressing concerns about visuals and weapon mechanics. The developer assures players they are actively working to enhance the game's quality before launch.
This second beta is crucial for both Capcom and fans. It provides a valuable opportunity to further refine the game and reignite anticipation for what could be a landmark entry in the Monster Hunter franchise. Whether a returning veteran or a newcomer, February 2025 promises an exciting hunt for all.
