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 players another opportunity to experience the expansive open world before the game's official launch on February 28, 2025. Monster Hunter: Wilds is poised to be a flagship title, generating significant excitement as one of 2025's most anticipated releases.

The open beta will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Steam, across the following periods:

  • Weekend 1: February 6th, 2025, 7:00 PM PT – February 9th, 2025, 6:59 PM PT
  • Weekend 2: February 13th, 2025, 7:00 PM PT – February 16th, 2025, 6:59 PM PT

Beta Content and Improvements:

The second beta will include all content from the first, allowing players to revisit character creation, the 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. Furthermore, characters created during the initial beta can be carried over, eliminating the need for recreation.

Capcom acknowledges feedback from the first beta, addressing concerns regarding visuals and weapon mechanics. The developer assures players that significant improvements are underway, incorporating player feedback to enhance the overall game quality before launch.

This second beta serves as a crucial step for both Capcom and the player community. It provides valuable testing time to refine the experience and further build excitement for what promises to be a groundbreaking addition to the Monster Hunter franchise. Whether a returning veteran or a first-time hunter, February 2025 is set to be a thrilling month for fans worldwide.
