Monster Hunter: Wilds' Second Open Beta Dates Announced

Capcom has announced the dates for the second open beta of its highly anticipated title, Monster Hunter: Wilds, scheduled for two weekends in February 2025. Building on the success of the first beta (late 2024), this second beta offers another opportunity to experience the game before its official release on February 28, 2025.

Monster Hunter: Wilds is poised to be a landmark entry in the franchise, promising a vast, open-world adventure brimming with diverse environments and challenging monsters. The initial beta showcased story elements, character creation, and hunts.

The second open beta, available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Steam, will run:

February 6, 2025, 7:00 pm PT – February 9, 2025, 6:59 pm PT
February 13, 2025, 7:00 pm PT – February 16, 2025, 6:59 pm PT

What Awaits in the Second Beta?

Capcom confirmed returning content from the first beta, including character creation, the story trial, and the Doshaguma hunt. A new challenge awaits with the addition of a Gypceros hunt, a fan-favorite monster. Players can also import characters created during the first beta.

While the first beta was largely well-received, feedback regarding visuals and weapon mechanics was noted. Capcom assures players they are actively addressing these concerns, incorporating player feedback to enhance the game's quality before launch.

This second beta is crucial for both Capcom and fans. It's a chance to fine-tune the experience and heighten anticipation for what could be the most ambitious Monster Hunter game yet. Whether a returning player or a newcomer, February 2025 promises thrilling hunts.
