What will the open Beta of Monster Hunter Wilds offer?
The open Beta will give you the opportunity to explore 3 aspects of the title: the character editor, a taste of the game’s story, and a free hunt in Doshaguma. In the first content, you can create your warrior and later transfer it to the final version of the title.
In the initial trial, you will be introduced to a tutorial covering the basic mechanics of the title. Meanwhile, in the free hunt, you will need to defeat a Chatacabra while exploring the Barlovento Plains. Both activities can be performed solo or in online matches for a group of up to 4 players. Additionally, the team can be completed with NPCs, who will act as support hunters.
Participants will receive a pendant as a reward to decorate their weapons or their Seikret mount. Moreover, they will also be rewarded with a package of items at the game's launch. Below you can watch its latest trailer:
