Capcom has announced that in preparation for their upcoming release of Monster Hunter World: Iceborne, they’ll be having a beta exclusively for PlayStation Plus users on PlayStation 4, starting June 21 at 3:00 am PT / 6:00 am ET / 11:00 am BST, and running through the same time on June 24.
A second beta will be available for all PlayStation 4 users starting June 28 at 3:00 am PT / 6:00 am ET / 11:00 am BST and run through the same time on July 1. Preload options will be available a couple of days in advance before each beta. The base game is not required to participate.
“The beta offers players three quest choices, including the beginner-friendly Great Jagras hunt from Monster Hunter: World for newcomers, the brand new horned brute wyvern Banbaro for an intermediate challenge or returning series favorite Tigrex for the fiercest of hunters,” states Capcom. “The beta will let players test out all 14 weapon types in any of the three quests and the training area.”
Upon completing each quest for the first time, players can earn a total of three item packs containing consumable items that will be available for them to use in the full version of the Iceborne expansion when it releases.
Monster Hunter World: Iceborne is due out for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on September 6, and for PC this winter.
