Monster Hunter Wilds: Open Beta 2 Date Announced

Monster Hunter: Wilds Second Open Beta Dates Announced

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

Monster Hunter: Wilds is poised to be a flagship title for the franchise, a major contender for 2025's best games. Its expansive open world promises diverse environments and a vast array of monsters to hunt. The initial beta featured story segments, character creation, and hunts, including the tutorial Doshaguma encounter.

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

• 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?

Returning content from the first beta includes character creation, the story trial, and the Doshaguma hunt. A new addition is a hunt featuring the popular Gypceros monster. Furthermore, characters created during the first beta can be carried over, eliminating the need for recreation.

While the first beta received positive feedback, some players raised concerns about visuals and weapon mechanics. Capcom assures players that improvements based on this feedback are underway to enhance the game's quality before launch.

This second beta is crucial for both Capcom and fans, offering a final opportunity to refine the game and build excitement for what could be a landmark entry in the Monster Hunter series. Whether a returning player or a newcomer, February promises thrilling hunts for all.
