What you will experience in the public beta
The open beta of “Monster Hunter Wilds” consists of three parts: “Character Creation”, “Story Experience Mission” and “Monster Hunting Mission”. Please come and experience the great ecosystem of “Tengashahara”.
Create a role
You can experience the same functions as the production version. In this game, you can set details such as physique, giving you a higher level of freedom in creating characters (physique does not affect abilities and gameplay experience). As for the character information created in the public beta, it will be inherited and used on the production version. During the open beta, you can regularly edit your characters, so it’s a good idea to take this opportunity to create your best hunter and follower Elu.
Story knowledge mission / animal hunting mission
It can be played starting from the beginning of the story, including basic game classes until the Frog’s Crusade is completed. Enjoy a seamless gaming experience.
The mission of the animal protection expedition is to defeat the animal protection director who is in charge of the group.
No matter what resolution you play, you can invite online players to experience multiplayer play by sending out a rescue signal. When the player cannot be found, up to 3 NPC support hunters will join and help with hunting.
Talk to the editor “Alma” to use the mission counter, where you can precisely set the number of people in multiplayer games and other situations. Whether you want to challenge 4 players together, or you can bring your Elu follower and call an NPC to support the hunter, etc., players can experience the game according to their preferred options.
