Game publisher CAPCOM just announced the beta session for upcoming video game expansion Monster Hunter World: Iceborne.
Monster Hunter World: Iceborne beta session schedule
The PlayStation 4 Beta schedule was recently revealed, which is just ahead of its launch next week. Here’s the schedule:
PlayStation 4 Beta
- Starts: August 30 at 12:01 a.m. PT / 3:01 a.m. ET
- Ends: September 1 at 11:59 p.m. PT / September 2 at 2:59 a.m. ET
The preload options will be available on Aug. 28, just before the beta period begins.
Here’s the overview:
These pre-launch beta sessions for Monster Hunter World: Iceborne are cooler than ever with the addition of a frosty new challenge. Alongside the previously available Great Jagras (Beginner), Banbaro (Intermediate), and Tigrex (Expert) quests, players will be able to battle against the game’s mythical flagship monster Velkhana for the first time. Watch out though, this Elder Dragon’s icy breath is dangerous and offers a bone-chilling fight for even the fiercest of hunters.
Similar to previous beta sessions, hunters can test out all 14 weapon types in any of the four quests and the training area. The weapons include the new Iceborne features, plus the new Slinger tool options such as the Clutch Claw grapple mechanic.
Upon completing each quest for the first time, hunters can earn a total of four special commendation packs containing helpful consumable items that will be available to use in the full version of the Iceborne expansion when it releases. So, pack those Hot Drinks and join a hunting party to clear these quests!
The expansion will launch on Sept. 6. It will be released on PS4.
