Monster Hunter Wilds open beta to begin this week

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of hunting down digital beasts under my belt, I can hardly contain my excitement for the Monster Hunter Wilds open beta! The opportunity to get a sneak peek at not one, but TWO new monsters is simply too tantalizing to resist.

Monster Hunter Wilds content included in the beta

The open beta consists of three parts:

  1. Character Creation
  2. Story Trial
  3. Doshaguma Hunt

Character Creation

During the process of creating characters, players will have access to all the features that will be available in the complete game. Additionally, players will have the opportunity to transfer their character settings from the open beta phase directly into the final release version.

And of course we will not only create a hunter, but also our Palico companion.

Story Trial

In the Story Mode Trial, you’ll have the opportunity to watch an opening scene, and then embark on the “Chatacabra Hunt” tutorial. This tutorial teaches you how to combat monsters effectively. The Chatacabra is a recently debuted monster in Monster Hunter Wilds, freshly introduced to the game.

Doshaguma Hunt

In this quest, you have an opportunity to team up with as many as three fellow hunters in our pursuit of the Doshaguma Alpha. This collaboration will allow us to delve into a designated part of the map, offering us a vivid glimpse of the world around us.

Monster Hunter Wilds system requirements

Players using Xbox Series X|S or PS5 consoles, as well as those on the PS5, need to have an active internet connection and should ensure they have around 29 gigabytes of spare storage space. Users playing on PCs will need to meet more stringent system requirements.
