With the release of the full game just a few months away,Monster Hunter Wildsis looking to perfect its formula through player participation ina free open beta. This beta kicked off a few days early for PlayStation Plus members, and is now open to everyone on every platform to jump into. The beta aims to give players a good taste of how the game is going to play when itlaunches in February 2025, and it does so through a decent chunk of content. This includes access to the full character and Palico creators, the opening cutscene to the game, and several hunts to tackle.
Even more, though, is thatCapcom is offeringa chunk of rewards for players to unlock through participating in the beta for the full game. Beyond just allowing the players to bring their characters and Palicos over to the full release, they also havesome cosmetic and item rewardsto bring with them as well. Here is the rundown on what those rewards are.
Monster Hunter Wilds Beta Rewards
Truly, a person doesn’t even have to progress through the entire beta in order to unlock the rewards. A persononly has to create a character in the betain order for the rewards to unlock when the full game launches.
Which is an important distinction to make: the following rewards are for the game’s full launch andare not available during the beta test itself.
The first of these rewards is the Stuffed Felyne Teddy pendant that players can equip on their character. While it doesn’t appear to offer any gameplay boosts, it certainly isan adorable addition to any player’s look and style.
The last of the rewards isa handful of itemsthat players can immediately add to their inventory:
These items will all be immediately helpful whenthe full game launches on February 28th, 2025. They will all bolster a player’s chances in the first hunts of the game.
Now, to transfer these rewards over to the full release ofMonster Hunter Wilds, players will need touse the same platform account that they used in the beta.
It should also be noted that any quest progress done in the beta will not carry over to the full release; it is just the character the player creates and these rewards that will come with them. While maybe not as much incentive for players as they’d want, it is still something tomake the time spent in the beta worth it for the real release.
People can jump into the beta right now throughthe Playstation Store, Xbox Store, and Steam. They willhave until November 3rd at 6:59 PM PT/9:49 PM ETto create their character.
During this time, they can participate inhunting the Chatacabra, Doshaguma, Balahara, and Rey Dau. That’s a good amount of content to dip their toes into during the weekend.
