said
that
the

will
be
online-only

across
platforms.
“The
purpose
of
this
test
is
to
allow
players
to
experience
a
limited
portion
of
Monster
Hunter
Wilds
and
also
to
verify
various
technical
aspects
such
as
network
load
and
overall
operation
prior
to
the
game’s
full
release,”
the
publisher
said
in
its
announcement.
In
the
open
beta,
players
will
be
able
to
access
the
full
character
creation
menu
that
will
be
present
in
the
full
version
of
the
game
at
launch.
Players
will
be
able
to
customise
their
characters
as
many
times
as
they
like
during
the
test.
Capcom
said
that
open
beta
testers
will
be
able
to
carry
over
their
character
creation
data
into
the
full
version
of
the
game.
The
character
creation
menu
will
let
players
create
their
own
Hunter
and
their
Palico
feline
companion.
Beta
testers
will
also
be
able
to
experience
the
opening
cutscene
and
the
Chatacabra
hunt
that
provides
a
basic
tutorial
for
combat.
Additionally,
the
open
beta
will
also
include
the
Doshaguma
hunt,
where
players
must
defeat
the
alpha
of
the
Doshaguma
pack.
During
the
mission,
testers
will
be
able
to
explore
the
location
on
their
Seikret
mount
and
switch
between
two
different
weapon
types.
During
both
quests,
players
can
use
an
SOS
flare
to
play
with
other
players
online
or
request
up
to
three
NPC
Support
Hunters
to
join
your
hunting
party.
