Monster Hunter Wilds Announces Open Beta Dates, Hunting to Begin Earlier Than Expected
Hunters, ready your weapons.
Monster Hunter fans can get their virtual weapons ready. At the recent Monster Hunter Wilds Showcase, Capcom unveiled a new trailer for the game (which you can watch below) and also revealed that the next installment in the franchise will feature two open beta test dates.
When will the Monster Hunter Wilds Open Beta Test take place?
According to Capcom, the open beta test will consist of two phases: the part one will be two days of early access for PlayStation 5 users (with a PlayStation Plus account), with the test starting on Monday, October 28th at 8:00 pm PT / 11:00 pm ET and ending on Wednesday, October 30th at 7:59 pm PT / 10:59 pm ET.
Part Two will begin on Thursday, October 31st at 8:00 pm PT / 11:00 pm ET and end on Sunday, November 3rd at 6:59 pm PT / 9:59 pm ET. This second part will feature cross-play, allowing PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC players to play via Steam.
This beta will allow players interested in playing Monster Hunter Wilds to access the character creator and also bring their creations into the full game, but not the progress we make. This beta will allow us to play through the tutorials and participate in the first major hunt, Doshaguma. Participants will receive a small bonus Palico pendant and a package of basic bonus items.
A Monster Hunter that will surprise fans
A few months ago, we had the opportunity to take a first look at Monster Hunter Wilds, and our Mike Reyes, who wrote about it at the time, was completely fascinated: “we can say with confidence that Capcom has big surprises for players, since MH Wilds brings with it enormous changes in gameplay that almost completely change the Monster Hunter formula, without losing the essence that makes the franchise what it has been for more than 20 years.”
Monster Hunter Wilds will arrive on February 28 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC
