Monster Hunter: Wilds promises a groundbreaking open-world adventure, setting a new standard for the franchise. The expansive wilderness features diverse environments and a vast array of challenging monsters. The initial beta included story elements, character creation, and several hunts.

Second Beta Content and Improvements

Returning content from the first beta includes character creation, the story trial, and the Doshaguma hunt. A new challenge awaits with a hunt featuring the fan-favorite Gypceros. Players can also import characters created during the first beta.

Capcom acknowledges feedback from the first beta, addressing concerns about visuals and weapon gameplay. The developer assures players that improvements are underway based on this feedback to polish the game before launch.

This second beta is crucial for both Capcom and fans. It allows for further refinement and builds anticipation for a potentially landmark entry in the Monster Hunter series. Whether you're a returning beta tester or a newcomer, February 2025 promises exciting hunts.
