Second Monster Hunter Wilds Beta Test Announced

Monster Hunter: Wilds Second Open Beta Dates Announced

Capcom has announced the dates for the second open beta of Monster Hunter: Wilds, offering players another opportunity to experience the highly anticipated RPG before its release. The beta will run across two weekends in February 2025, building upon the success of the first beta test in late 2024.

This ambitious title promises a vast open world teeming with diverse ecosystems and challenging monsters. The first beta included character creation, story segments, and hunts.

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

• 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

What Awaits in the Second Beta?

The second beta retains all content from the first, 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 characters created during the initial beta, eliminating the need to recreate their hunters.

Capcom acknowledges feedback from the first beta, addressing concerns about visuals and weapon gameplay polish. The developer assures players they are actively working to enhance the game's quality before its February 28th, 2025 launch.

This second beta is crucial for both Capcom and fans, providing valuable refinement time and renewing excitement for what could be a landmark entry in the Monster Hunter series. Whether a returning player or a newcomer, February 2025 promises thrilling hunts for monster hunters everywhere.
