The recent PlayStation Network outage caused widespread frustration, especially for those on PS5 seeking to experience the second open beta for Monster Hunter Wilds. Though the first weekend is over, Capcom has confirmed that the second will be extended by 24 hours, starting on February 13th, 7 PM PT and ending on February 17th, 6:59 PM PT.
The second open beta features much of the same content as the first. Players can engage in a main story quest, hunt a Doshaguma in the wild or challenge Rey Dau. Some additions include battling Arkveld, a challenging endeavor, or taking on Gypceros in a new hunt. You can also venture to the Training Area to practice the various weapons.
Though it doesn’t include many improvements to performance and weapons, they’ll be ready when Monster Hunter Wilds launches on February 28th for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC. Check out the dedicated benchmark tool here to see how your PC hardware matches up.
