The Open Beta Test will feature the complete character creator, allowing players to redesign their character as many times as they like. You can even carry over your character creation data to the full version of Monster Hunter: Wilds, so take your time designing your Palico.
The OBT will also include a Story Trial, where players can experience the opening cutscene and jump right into the first hunt, complete with basic tutorials. This trial will give players a chance to test out weapon mechanics and experience the "seamless transitions from cutscenes into gameplay." In addition to these features, players will also have the opportunity to hunt Doshaguma.
