Monster Hunter: Wilds Second Open Beta Arrives Early Next Month

Following requests from many fans, the second beta test for Monster Hunter: Wilds is set to begin in early next month, which is right before its February 28th launch. Specifically, the open beta will run from February 6th to 9th and again from February 13th to 16th. In contrast to the initial beta, PlayStation 5 users won’t get early access, meaning that this open beta can be played on all compatible consoles as soon as it’s available.

Players have another chance to revisit Monster Hunter: Wilds, especially for those who didn’t catch the initial open beta. Yet, it’s important to mention that the second open beta won’t incorporate the latest updates from CAPCOM, which include hit-stop effects enhancements, better performance optimization, and weapon balance adjustments that were recently announced prior to launch.

In the second open beta, characters developed in the initial phase will be retained, yet they won’t transition to the final game release. However, this offers a great chance for novice players to explore character design, creating avatars that mirror their real selves or opting for something more outlandish instead.

Besides battling common creatures like Rey Dau, Doshaguma, Balahara, and Chatacabra, the second open beta also holds a thrilling twist – the comeback of the Gypceros, last seen in the franchise a full seven years ago.

The creature known as Gypceros is a fearsome beast, sporting a lamplike crest on its head that can momentarily blind unaware gamers. Long-term fans of the game series will delight in the reappearance of its infamous “feigned death” trick, coupled with its unique pink tail and toxic sacs. Seasoned players are likely to appreciate the return of Gypceros, while novice players might encounter it as their first substantial hurdle.

As an ardent enthusiast, I’m keeping my fingers crossed that CAPCOM might secretly introduce one of the rumored creatures, perhaps even the iconic Arkveld, in the beta version.

Participants in the upcoming open beta round will additionally get a “Plush Feline Teddy Bear” charm, available for redemption once the game is live on February 28.

In simpler terms, during the initial public test (open beta), both novice and veteran gamers had a thrilling time. The upcoming open beta won’t undergo major transformations compared to the first one. Just like before, players will traverse the Windward Plains and encounter the same monsters they did previously.

Or,

The initial open beta offered an enjoyable gaming session for both newbies and veterans. The next open beta isn’t expected to vary much from the first one, with minimal alterations. Players will find themselves back on the Windward Plains, facing familiar foes once again.

2021 looks set to see Monster Hunter: Wilds among its top game launches, sharing the spotlight with Grand Theft Auto VI. Boasting advanced exploration features such as an uninterrupted open world and numerous user-friendly upgrades, it represents a considerable advancement for the series.
