Get ready hunters! Capcom has announced a second open beta for Monster Hunter Wilds, giving players another generous window to explore the game’s expansive world and test their mettle against fearsome beasts. This extended beta will provide a more comprehensive look at the game’s new features, including refined combat mechanics, the vast open-world environment, and a glimpse of the diverse monster roster awaiting seasoned and new hunters alike.
The beta will run for a full week, beginning on February 16th and concluding on February 23rd. This extended timeframe allows ample opportunity for players to delve into the game’s numerous activities, from solo hunting expeditions to cooperative hunts with friends. Unlike the previous beta, this iteration will include access to two new flagship monsters: the fearsome Magnarok, a colossal volcanic wyvern with devastating fire attacks, and the elusive Glavenus, a razor-sharp, steel-plated beast capable of incredible speed and agility.
Beyond the new monsters, players can expect several enhancements to the overall gameplay experience. Expect refined controls, optimized network stability for seamless multiplayer interactions, and a more polished user interface. Capcom has been actively listening to feedback from the first beta and has implemented significant improvements based on player suggestions. This second beta is a direct reflection of their dedication to delivering a polished and enjoyable experience at launch.
The beta will be available on all platforms: PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. Players who participated in the first beta will receive a unique in-game item upon the full game’s release. However, even if you missed the previous beta, this is a fantastic chance to dive headfirst into the thrilling world of Monster Hunter Wilds before its official release on March 30th. Pre-orders for the game are now open, offering early access to specific content, so don’t miss out on securing your copy and getting ready for an epic hunting adventure!

Finally, some Glavenus action! I’ve been waiting for this monster since the leaks. I hope the difficulty is appropriately challenging, though. No easy hunts, please!

A full week beta is great. But honestly, I hope they fixed the performance issues from the first beta. That was my biggest complaint.

I’m cautiously optimistic. The first beta had its issues, but if they’ve genuinely addressed the feedback, this could be amazing. Fingers crossed for a smooth experience!

Pre-ordered already! Can’t wait for the early access content. The longer beta is awesome and shows Capcom is committed to quality. Really excited for this one!

Love the longer beta. However, I’m worried about server stability during peak hours. Hopefully, they’ve really improved that aspect of the game.

I’m a bit disappointed there’s still no information on the endgame content. While the beta is nice, I’m most concerned about the longevity of the game.
