Capcom has shared details on a second open beta for Monster Hunter Wilds, due to start later this week.
Open Beta Test 2 will be available across PS5, Xbox Series X/S and Steam, and will take place over the next two weekends – February 7-10, and February 14-17.
“Ahead of the game’s full release on February 28, 2025, we held an open beta test in November 2024,” Capcom says. “In response to requests from players who were unable to participate the first time or simply wish to play again, we’ve decided to hold a second open beta test.”
The second open beta will introduce players to Arkveld, the game’s flagship monster, and adds a high difficulty slaying quest for expert players who want to try fighting it.
It also adds Gypdceros, a bird wyven that’s made appearances throughout the Monster Hunter series and returns for Wilds.
A Training Area will also be introduced in Open Beta Test 2, letting players practice with the various weapons on offer. Players will automatically revive if they faint in this area.

Private lobbies and a single-player mode will also be present in the beta, allowing players to either join up with specific friends or explore the world solo.
All the content from the first Open Beta Test from November will also be included in the second test, including the character creator, the Story Trial and the Doshaguma hunt.
Players who take part in Open Beta Test 2 will receive a special Bonus Pendant – the same one available for participating in the first open beta – as well as an OBT 2 Bonus Item Pack offering 54 consumable in-game items.
