When did the Monster Hunter Wilds beta end? The Monster Hunter Wilds open beta included a limited portion of the game for players to test, including spending time in the character creator to put together the perfect main character and Palico.
Ahead of the Monster Hunter Wilds release date, Capcom held an open beta for a hands on with the RPG game for the first time. The beta included a trial of the story and opening cutscene, taking you through the Chatacabra hunt to learn the basic tutorials, as well as trying out some of the weapons on offer. Players were also able to take on the Doshaguma Hunt, one of the many Monster Hunter Wild monsters, and explore this area on your Seikret.
Monster Hunter Wilds beta start and end times
The Monster Hunter Wilds beta has ended. Here is when the beta began, and when it finished:
- PT – October 31, 2024 8pm to November 3, 2024 6:59pm
- GMT – November 1, 2024 3am to November 4, 2024 2:59am
Will there be another Monster Hunter Wilds beta?
During the December 2024 Monster Hunter Wilds pre-launch community update, game director Yuya Tokuda expressed that a second beta is under consideration. However, a potential round two wouldn’t ship with any of the changes made since the first beta, and it would simply be a re-run of what we’ve had before.
While it would be nice to see how far the game’s come since its initial November 2024 run-out, it’s understandable that preparing an entirely new beta package for distribution can pose an unnecessary amount of work at this critical point of Wilds’ development. Regardless, if you didn’t get to play the last beta, then there’s hope you’ll get your chance ahead of launch day.
