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 round offers another opportunity to experience the game before its official launch on February 28, 2025. This ambitious open-world RPG promises a vast and diverse environment teeming with challenging monsters.
The first beta provided a taste of the narrative, character creation, and basic hunts. This second beta expands on that foundation.
Beta Dates and Times:
Available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Steam.
What Awaits in the Second Beta:
The second beta includes all content from the first, allowing players to revisit character creation, story trials, and the Doshaguma hunt. A new challenge awaits with the addition of a Gypceros hunt, a fan-favorite monster. Furthermore, characters created during the initial beta can be carried over, saving players time and effort.
Addressing Player Feedback:
While the first beta was largely positive, Capcom acknowledges player feedback regarding visual aspects (textures and lighting) and weapon mechanics. The developer assures players that improvements are underway based on this feedback, aiming to polish the game before its release.
A Crucial Step Before Launch:
With less than two months to launch, this second beta is critical for both Capcom and fans. It's a chance to fine-tune the experience and further build anticipation for what promises to be a landmark entry in the Monster Hunter series. Whether you're a returning beta tester or a newcomer, February 2025 is shaping up to be a thrilling month for monster hunters.
