You can try Monster Hunter Wilds next week, months before its February 28 release date

Capcom is giving fans a chance to hop into Monster Hunter Wilds early as part of an open beta test.

While the next edition of Capcom's blockbuster series has a February 28 release date, you'll be able to get a taste of it in an open beta test that's taking place next week. Along with being able to transfer your character creation data over to the full game, you'll get a virtual pendant and a few other goodies for taking part in the beta. The beta's story trial includes two hunts, one with basic tutorials and the other offering the chance to explore the environment on a Seikret animal mount.
