MHW Beta Test Date Unveiled

Monster Hunter: Wilds Second Open Beta Dates Announced

Capcom has announced the dates for a second open beta test of Monster Hunter: Wilds, scheduled for two weekends in February 2025. This follows the successful first beta in late 2024, offering another opportunity for players to experience the highly anticipated RPG before its official launch on February 28th, 2025.

Monster Hunter: Wilds promises to be one of the most ambitious titles in the franchise, making it a top contender for 2025's most anticipated games. The expansive open world features diverse environments and a huge array of monsters to hunt. The initial beta showcased story elements, character creation, and several introductory hunts.

The second open beta, available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Steam, will run across these two weekends:

• February 6th, 2025, 7:00 pm PT – February 9th, 2025, 6:59 pm PT
• February 13th, 2025, 7:00 pm PT – February 16th, 2025, 6:59 pm PT

Second Beta Content and Improvements

Capcom confirmed that all content from the first beta will return, including character creation, the story trial, and the Doshaguma hunt. A new challenge awaits with the addition of a Gypceros hunt, a fan-favorite monster. Furthermore, players can import their characters created during the first beta, eliminating the need to recreate them.

While the first beta was generally well-received, some feedback highlighted areas for improvement, such as visual details and weapon mechanics. Capcom assures players that they are actively addressing this feedback to enhance the game's quality before launch.

This second beta is crucial for both Capcom and fans. It offers a valuable opportunity to fine-tune the game and further build anticipation for what could be a landmark entry in the Monster Hunter series. Whether a returning player or a newcomer, February 2025 promises an exciting hunt for all.
