Monster Hunter Wilds: 16 cool new gameplay details and mechanics you might have missed in the Open Beta Test

The player getting thrown back by Rey Dau, one of the new monsters of Monster Hunter Wilds.

I have recently had a chance to play the Open Beta Test for one of my most anticipated games of 2025, Monster Hunter Wilds. After playing it extensively for a couple of days, I can honestly say that it has left me hungry for more. The immersive details of the first open-world locale are engrossing, the art designs for the new monsters and gear are amazingly detailed, and the gameplay from exploration to combat is loads of fun and rife with potential.

During my time with the Monster Hunter Wilds Open Beta Test, I discovered at least fifteen new cool gameplay features that have gotten me excited to play the full game when it releases on February 28, 2025. Some of these features have been teased in official media provided by Capcom while others have been kept under wraps until players like me discovered them during the Open Beta Test.
