Today, publisher Capcom announced that a second round of beta testing will be available for ‘Monster Hunter Wilds’. The second open beta test for the game will be available on PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series consoles—the first beginning on the 6th of February at 7pm PST to the 9th and the second round from the 13th to the 16th.
In addition, PC players can now download the PC Benchmark Test Tool to gauge just how well Monster Hunter Wilds will run on their rigs. Head on over here to download it via Steam.
Have a gander below for more details on Monster Hunter Wilds’ coming beta test, including a new trailer featuring two fan-favourite monsters: Nerscylla and Gore Magala. The game will launch on the aforementioned platforms on the 28th of February.
Capcom is hosting a second Open Beta Test for Monster Hunter Wilds later this month, and Tsujimoto had one more surprise for players. Hunters will be able to challenge Arkveld, the game’s flagship monster, when the beta returns! In addition to this chance to hunt the “White Wraith,” Open Beta Test 2 will introduce returning monster Gypceros, the Base Camp’s Training Area, and additional online features, such as Private Lobbies and Online Single Player mode.
Just like the previous beta, Open Beta Test 2 includes character creation with transferable data, a story mission, and free-roaming hunts with cross-platform multiplayer. However, please note the beta does not contain the recently announced performance and balance adjustments, as the development team is focused on implementing these improvements for the full game’s release. Monster Hunter Wilds Open Beta Test 2 runs from Thursday, February 6 at 7:00pm PST to Sunday, February 9 at 6:59pm PST and Thursday, February 13 at 7:00pm PST to Sunday, February 16 at 6:59pm PST.
The showcase also highlighted various special features, including Photo Mode, customization options, and PlayStation®5 Pro support. PS5®Pro Enhanced features will be available upon launch, offering state-of-the-art technologies such as ray tracing and PlayStation® Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) delivering even more immersive visuals.
Monster Hunter Wilds is now available for pre-order across PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S, and Steam via PC. Starting one week following the game’s launch on February 28, limited-time event quests will be introduced with special armor that players can earn as rewards. Additional post-launch updates are also planned. Please look forward to more details regarding these updates and events soon.
Steam users can also prepare for launch with the Monster Hunter Wilds Benchmark tool. Available starting today, the tool allows players to measure their PC’s performance with the game. Please see the official website for details.
