Monster Hunter Wilds Open Beta Test Announced

Capcom said that the Open Beta Test for Monster Hunter Wilds will be online-only and feature cross-play across platforms. “The purpose of this test is to allow players to experience a limited portion of Monster Hunter Wilds and also to verify various technical aspects such as network load and overall operation prior to the game’s full release,” the publisher said in its announcement.

In the open beta, players will be able to access the full character creation menu that will be present in the full version of the game at launch. Players will be able to customise their characters as many times as they like during the test. Capcom said that open beta testers will be able to carry over their character creation data into the full version of the game. The character creation menu will let players create their own Hunter and their Palico feline companion.

Beta testers will also be able to experience the opening cutscene and the Chatacabra hunt that provides a basic tutorial for combat. Additionally, the open beta will also include the Doshaguma hunt, where players must defeat the alpha of the Doshaguma pack. During the mission, testers will be able to explore the location on their Seikret mount and switch between two different weapon types.
