Capcom has just announced the second open beta test for Monster Hunter Wilds, which will run from February 6-9 and February 13-16 on PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC. In addition to the content from the first beta, players will be able to hunt Gypceros, a new monster added for this round of testing.
The character creator will be made available and players can transfer their creations from the beta to the full version of the game. Character data from the first beta will also be useable. Cross-platform play will be active, and participants will receive rewards exclusives such as an item pack and a Seikret decorative charm/weapon.
While no performance improvements, weapon tweaks or hitstop system adjustments will be included, the full version of the game will address these issues. Monster Hunter Wilds will be released on February 28, offering PS5 Pro support at launch and the possibility of reduced PC minimum requirements.
Capcom has revealed a new trailer for Monster Hunter Wilds, featuring the Iceshard Cliffs location. The region looks peaceful, but hides many dangers. A new monster, Hirabami, attacks players in groups of three. Isolating and eliminating each one individually is essential for survival.
The trailer also provides footage of Arkveld, the game’s poster monster. He demonstrating some of his attacks and battles Rey Dau. One sequence suggests a possible transformation, activated by an Alatreon-like energy. Two classic creatures also return: Nerscylla and Gore Magala.
The second open beta begins on February 6 on Xbox Series X/S, PS5 and PC, and includes cross-play, private lobbies, online single-player and a training area. Players can try a new hunt with Gypceros and an enhanced quest against Arkveld. Characters from the first beta will transfer over and participants will receive special bonuses.
