PlayStation Plus members can finally experience the new adventure in Monster Hunter Wilds. The open beta invites you to explore the huge, monster-rich world for the first time over the weekend. As a special treat, there is the bonus pet Felynen Teddy, which enriches the first hunting experiences as a companion and later serves as a charming souvenir for the main game. This exclusive beta content provides additional motivation to get to know the game early on and to transfer progress directly into the main game.
The character creation tool, which allows data to be seamlessly transferred later, is particularly exciting – perfect for players who want to customize their hunter down to the last detail before the official launch. The beta starts with a story demo that teaches the basics of Chatacabra hunting before moving on to the first major challenge, the Doshaguma hunt. The cross-play feature allows you to take friends with you on your adventure, regardless of platform, further emphasizing the diversity and team spirit of the Monster Hunter community.
Access for all platforms and an intense community experience
Exclusive access for PlayStation Plus begins on October 29 and runs until October 31, followed by a general open beta period for everyone, starting on November 1 and ending on November 4. This period applies to both PlayStation, Xbox Series X|S and Steam, giving all interested players the chance to test the beta and put their hunting skills to the test.
Capcom has provided a detailed guide to the beta on their website and also provides players with helpful tips to get the most out of the test. Cross-play functionality ensures that a vibrant cross-platform community is created, which is already being prepared for the main game in 2025. The developers have created a wide range of new monsters and detailed environments that offer challenging hunting fun and, especially in multiplayer mode, encourage intensive strategic planning and teamwork.
The future of Monster Hunter: Gaining experience and having adventures
In this beta, players get more than just a taste of the gameplay – they can already familiarize themselves with the world and its challenges and prepare their character for the main game. The hunt for the Doshaguma is a prime example of the new combat system, which, along with realistically designed environments, makes the gaming experience more intense than ever. Capcom is using direct feedback from the community to make valuable adjustments and further optimize the game.
For Monster Hunter, the beta offers the ideal opportunity to experience the adventure from the very beginning and to prepare for the big adventure. The open test phase not only creates anticipation, but also motivates players to refine their hunting skills and increase the excitement for the upcoming main game.
