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 launch on February 28, 2025. Monster Hunter: Wilds promises a massive open-world adventure, setting a new standard for the franchise and solidifying its place among 2025's most anticipated releases.
The first beta showcased a taste of the narrative, character creation, and monster hunting, featuring the Doshaguma hunt.
The second 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
What Awaits in the Second Beta?
Returning content includes character creation, the story trial, and the Doshaguma hunt from the first beta. A new challenge awaits with the addition of a Gypceros hunt, a fan-favorite monster. Furthermore, players can import characters created during the initial beta, eliminating the need to recreate their hunters.
Capcom acknowledges feedback from the first beta, addressing concerns about visuals (textures and lighting) and weapon gameplay refinement. The developer assures players that improvements are underway based on player feedback, aiming for a polished launch.
This second beta is crucial for both Capcom and the fans, offering a final chance to refine the game and heighten anticipation for this ambitious entry in the Monster Hunter franchise. Whether a returning player or a newcomer, February promises an exciting hunt for all.
