Monster Hunter Wilds 2nd Open Beta Test Date Revealed

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 game before its official launch on February 28, 2025. This ambitious title is poised to be one of 2025's most exciting releases.

The sprawling wilderness setting promises a vast open world teeming with diverse ecosystems and a wide array of challenging monsters. The first beta featured narrative cutscenes and character creation, allowing players to hunt select creatures within the tutorial.

Beta Dates & 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, 7:00 PM PT – February 9th, 6:59 PM PT
• Weekend 2: February 13th, 7:00 PM PT – February 16th, 6:59 PM PT

What to Expect:

This beta includes all content from the first test: character creation, story trial, and the Doshaguma hunt. A new challenge awaits with the addition of a Gypceros hunt, a fan-favorite monster returning to the series. Players can also import their characters created during the initial beta, saving time and effort.

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 the official release. This second beta is crucial for refining the experience and generating further excitement.

Whether you're a returning hunter or a newcomer, February 2025 promises an exhilarating experience for Monster Hunter fans worldwide.
