Monster Hunter Wilds is set to feature a large number of monsters, both old and new, like the new "flagship" (aka scary) beast Arkveld, and the return of farting gorilla Congalala after almost 10 years.

We already knew two more Monster Hunter Wilds open betas were on the way ahead of this month's launch, but Capcom has now shared a few more details - confirming they'll give players a chance to go up against flagship monster Arkveld for the first time.

Capcom has revealed new details about Monster Hunter Wilds and its two upcoming open beta weekends ahead of the game's official release on February 28.

Capcom has revealed that its second open beta test for Monster Hunter Wilds will feature its flagship monster, the Arkveld.

While this isn't quite the insane metric as when Monster Hunter Wilds' first Open Beta Test gathered half a million players in just under an hour after it went live, 225,000 players is still an amazing achievement and shows people are hungry to get their hands on the full game.

Capcom has released a new Monster Hunter Wilds benchmark tool for all the PC players concerned about the game's performance on their hardware.
