The Monster Hunter Wilds open beta is about to launch and Capcom is trying to keep fans informed about access.

the moment monster hunter fans have finally been waiting for, it’s almost here. After agonizing months of tantalizing advances with new monsters, classic weaponsand franchise mechanics firstPlayers are about to get their hands on the next game in the series.

He Monster Hunter Wilds Open Beta It’s closer for some than others thanks to some console exclusivity, but there’s some confusion around the hands-on experience. Not with start dates, but with who has access and who doesn’t.

Capcom has adopted X (via the official Monster Hunter account) to clear up some confusion about whether or not you need to pre-order Monster Hunter Wilds to play its open beta. The company has assured players on all platforms that this is not the case.

“We’ve seen some comments wondering if you need to have pre-ordered Monster Hunter Wilds to access the open beta test,” Capcom posted. “The answer is no, you don’t need to make a reservation to play!”

It’s not too far-fetched to assume that a pre-order might be required to play this beta version of the game. In recent years, early access periods are usually closed after an advance purchase.

We have seen it in games like Dragon Ball Zero Sparks, Diablo 4and Warhammer 40,000: Space Marines 2. However, the purpose of the Monster Hunter Wilds open beta is to secure pre-orders, not reward them.

The beta launches on Monday, October 28 at 8:00 pm PT for PlayStation players with a PlayStation Plus account. For everyone else, it starts Thursday, October 31 at 8:00 pm PST.

It’s a limited-time event that ends Sunday, November 3 at 6:59 pm PST, and once again, no pre-order will be required to access. “If you want to pre-order after playing the Open Beta test, that would be great,” Capcom added as a caveat to its post.
