Capcom has exciting news for fans of the Monster Hunter series: the second open beta for Monster Hunter: Wilds is scheduled for February 2025. Following the successful first beta in late 2024, this upcoming event will span two weekends, offering players another chance to dive into the game before its official release on February 28, 2025. Monster Hunter: Wilds is poised to be one of the most ambitious titles in the franchise, promising a vast open-world experience with diverse ecosystems and a wide array of monsters to track, battle, and conquer.
The second open beta will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Steam, with the following dates and timings:
- February 6, 2025, 7:00 pm PT - February 9, 2025, 6:59 pm PT

What Players Can Expect From the Second Open Beta
The second open beta will include all content from the first beta, such as Character Creation, Story Trial, and the Slay Doshaguma Quest. Additionally, players can look forward to a new challenge with the hunt for Gypceros, a beloved monster returning to the series. Characters created during the first beta can be carried over, saving players the time of recreating their hunters in the detailed character editor.
Feedback from the first beta was generally positive, though some players expressed concerns about the game's visuals and the feel of different weapons. Capcom has acknowledged these critiques and is committed to enhancing the game's quality before its launch, taking player feedback seriously.
With less than two months until the full release, the second beta is a crucial opportunity for Capcom to refine Monster Hunter: Wilds and for fans to reignite their excitement. Whether you're returning from the first beta or experiencing the game for the first time, February promises to be an exhilarating month for monster hunters everywhere.
