Capcom has announced the highly anticipated Open Beta for Monster Hunter Wilds, set to launch on PlayStation 5 next week, offering fans an early experience of its action-packed adventure. PlayStation Plus members will gain early access to the beta from October 28-30, while other players can join from October 31 to November 4.
Monster Hunter Wilds Open beta details
The Monster Hunter Wilds Open Beta is set in a new locale, the Oilwell Basin, an area bustling with oil wells that periodically erupt, creating a unique and hazardous environment.
Players will also encounter Azuz, the Everforge, a community of skilled blacksmiths who live around a massive fire forge. The beta introduces new monsters adapted to the region’s extreme conditions, including the Black Flame, Fanged Beast Ajarakan, and Brute Wyvern Rompopolo.
What to expect from the Monster Hunter Wilds Open beta
The Open Beta offers three main features:
- Character creation: Players can customise their own characters to their liking.
- Trial mode: A preview of the game’s opening story sequence.
- The Doshaguma Hunt: Battle the alpha creature Doshaguma in solo or multiplayer modes.
Participants will also receive exclusive rewards, including a decorative Pendant for customisation and an “item pack” that can be transferred to the full release on February 28, 2025.
PS5 players can enjoy immersive features like haptic feedback, Tempest 3D audio, and adaptive triggers, fully utilising the console’s capabilities. Pre-download options for the beta start on 27 October for early access and October 30, for general access.
