Capcom has officially announced the Open Beta for Monster Hunter Wilds, set to launch sooner than fans anticipated. While the full game is a few months away from its release, players can dive into the demo, which will be available starting October 31, 2024. PlayStation users will enjoy early access to this exclusive event.
The Open Beta provides only a glimpse of the game, featuring just two initial hunts. Nonetheless, it’s an excellent opportunity for players to experience the new combat system and gameplay essentials before the game’s official release. Additionally, those who participate in the Open Beta will earn a special reward when the complete game launches.

What rewards can you earn by participating in the Monster Hunter Wilds Open Beta?

What can you expect in the Monster Hunter Wilds Open Beta?
The Open Beta will showcase the opening hour of the main storyline in MH Wilds, complete with the guided Chatacabra hunt and initial cutscenes.
