Monster Hunter fans celebrate in-game Carnival alongside explosive Wilds beta
OCTOBER and November are jam-packed with reasons for Monster Hunter fans to celebrate.
The next mainline entry in the series, Monster Hunter Wilds, is set to be released early next year, but fans won’t have to wait that long to play.
PS Plus subscribers can jump into Monster Hunter Wilds’ open beta right now, while Steam, Xbox, and other PlayStation players can join in from October 31.
Social media has been blowing up with pictures of the beta, and people are blown away with what they’ve seen so far.
If you aren’t interested in getting involved in the open beta test, then there’s another Monster Hunter event for you to take part in this week.
Monster Hunter’s mobile game, Monster Hunter Now, is hosting a world-wide event beginning on November 2.
Monster Hunter Now Carnival will take place between November 2 and November 3, and players have around two days to take on the challenges.
You have to purchase a $14.99 ticket for the event in the usually free-to-play game, but it will allow you to take down special beasts.
The highlight of the Carnival is the ability to hunt Nergigante at Elder Dragon Interception points.
Players will also be able to encounter and take down Silver Rathalos and Gold Rathian.
There will also be event-exclusive equipment that will allow you to take down these big bosses even if you don’t have your own high-grade equipment.
If you’re diving into Monster Hunter Wilds and you want more from Monster Hunter Now, this is the perfect event.

As with all of Niantic’s games, Monster Hunter Now is free to play, and you can happily play without spending a penny.
At this steep price tag, you’ll need to be a Monster Hunter Now super fan, as the Carnival ticket costs around the same as an indie game.
Still, if you have hundreds of hours spent in the mobile Monster Hunter, then this is likely worth it for you.
We would like to see the price of events like this come down a bit in the future though as it seems a bit much for just two days of fun.
