This is what data miners found out Monster Hunter Wilds will feature the return of several previously unannounced monsters. The game's open beta test became available on October 28, 2024, and it didn't take long for fans to dig through the code. One of the most intriguing details to emerge from the leak is the fact Monster Hunter Wilds will bring back a few opponents not seen since 2018 Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate.

Capcom's highly anticipated action RPG has already made significant progress despite not being released yet. Almost 25,000 Steam users were active Monster Hunter Wilds before the beta was even available on PC. The early adopters were also hard at work, as leaks from the game's code started appearing online just days after play testing began.
