Get Ready for Monster Hunter Wilds' Second Open Beta!
Missed the first Monster Hunter Wilds Open Beta? A second chance arrives in early February, bringing new content and features! This follow-up beta test offers another opportunity to experience the thrill of the hunt before the game's official launch on February 28th. Producer Ryozo Tsujimoto announced the news via a video on the official Monster Hunter YouTube channel.
A New Monster Joins the Hunt
The Open Beta Test Part 2 will run in two sessions: February 6th-9th and February 13th-16th, available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. This time around, players can tackle the Gypceros, a familiar foe from previous Monster Hunter titles.
Character data from the first beta carries over, and can be transferred to the full game. However, progress won't be saved. Participating hunters receive in-game rewards: a decorative Stuffed Felyne Teddy weapon charm, and a bonus item pack to aid early game progress.
Tsujimoto explained the second beta's purpose: to give those who missed the first a chance to play, and allow others another opportunity. He also confirmed the team's continued work on finalizing the full game. Note that while pre-launch improvements are underway, they won't be featured in this second beta test.
Monster Hunter Wilds launches on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S February 28th, 2025. Get ready to hunt!
