This past weekend saw a bizarre, still largely unexplained outage of Sony’s PlayStation Network service, effectively rendering a bunch of folk unable to access digital games and online servers. As someone who moonlights as a console gamer, I’ll admit it was a real spanner in my weekend plans.

It was quite frankly terrible timing, too—considering Capcom was running its second Open Beta Test for Monster Hunter Wilds. The PSN outage meant that would-be hunters were left in the dark for almost half of the beta’s runtime, leaving them pleading with Capcom to extend the Forbidden Lands’ opening times.

Initially uncertain if Capcom would grant their request, thankfully, they’ve decided to show a little generosity. After announcing they were ‘considering running OBT2 for an additional 24 hours at a future date,’ they have confirmed that they will be adding that extra day to the already-planned upcoming second beta.

Hunters can now look forward to an extended beta period: it will now run from February 13 at 7pm PT / 10pm ET / February 14 at 3am GMT until February 17 at 6:59pm PT / 9:59pm ET / February 18 at 2:59am GMT.

For PlayStation players, it’s great news that they’ll be able to re-capture a bit of their lost time, and for others, it’s a nice unexpected bonus. An extra day to throw my head against Arkveld repeatedly or mess around a little more with my beloved hunting horn—I’m really enjoying Wilds’ iteration—is certainly something I won’t turn down.

Even if you don’t plan on spending much time in the beta before Wilds releases later this month, it’s still worth popping in for a quick hunt to snag those sweet beta test rewards for the full game.
