Trailer #6: Into the Iceshard Cliffs
Monster Hunter Wilds is nearly here! Just weeks away from the action RPG‘s February 28 release, producer Ryozo Tsujimoto presented the latest news for the highly anticipated title. The showcase debuted a fresh trailer unveiling a frosty new locale, the Iceshard Cliffs. Within this snowcapped and rocky region dwells a never-before-seen monster, Hirabami. These Leviathans possess sail-like membranes that allow them to float and strike from the air with their razor-sharp tails. The trailer also revealed two returning fan-favorite monsters: Nerscylla and Gore Magala!
Open Beta Test 2
Capcom is hosting a second Open Beta Test for Monster Hunter Wilds later this month, and Tsujimoto had one more surprise for players. Hunters will be able to challenge Arkveld, the game’s flagship monster, when the beta returns! In addition to this chance to hunt the “White Wraith,” Open Beta Test 2 will introduce returning monster Gypceros, the Base Camp’s Training Area, and additional online features, such as Private Lobbies and Online Single Player mode.
Just like the previous beta, Open Beta Test 2 includes character creation with transferable data, a story mission, and free-roaming hunts with cross-platform multiplayer. However, please note the beta does not contain the recently announced performance and balance adjustments, as the development team is focused on implementing these improvements for the full game’s release. Monster Hunter Wilds Open Beta Test 2 runs from Thursday, February 6 at 7:00 p.m. PT / 10:00 p.m. ET to Sunday, February 9 at 6:59 p.m. PT / 9:59 p.m. ET and Thursday, February 13 at 7:00 p.m. PT / 10:00 p.m. ET to Sunday, February 16 at 6:59 p.m. PT / 9:59 p.m. ET.
Photo Mode, Customization Options, and PlayStation 5 Pro Support
The showcase also highlighted various special features, including Photo Mode, customization options, and PlayStation 5 Pro support. PlayStation 5 Pro Enhanced features will be available upon launch, offering state-of-the-art technologies such as ray tracing and PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) delivering even more immersive visuals.
Post-Launch Limited-Time Event Quests
Monster Hunter Wilds is now available for pre-order across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. Starting one week following the game’s launch on February 28, limited-time event quests will be introduced with special armor that players can earn as rewards. Additional post-launch updates are also planned. Please look forward to more details regarding these updates and events soon.
PC Benchmark Tool
