Open β test! "Monster Hunter World: Iceborn"

CAPCOM's globally popular "Monster Hunter" hunting action game series.
Monster Hunter World, released in January 2018, has evolved with beautiful graphics and a seamless map structure while maintaining the same feel of control, and as of March 2019, it is a very popular title that boasts sales of 12.4 million units worldwide.

"Monster Hunter World: Iceborn", a huge expansion to "Monster Hunter World", is scheduled to be released on September 6, 2019, and an open beta test will be held prior to the release of the game!

Two beta tests will be held!

This beta test will be held on PlayStation4.
There will be two rounds, the first for PS Plus subscribers only, and the second for everyone with a network connection across PS4.
Note that you will not be able to play offline!

The first round for PS Plus subscribers will be held from 19:00 on Friday, June 21, 2019 to 18:59 on Monday, June 24, 2019.
The second round for the whole group is scheduled for Friday, June 28, 2019 at 19:00 - Monday, July 1, 2019 at 18:59.

Multiplayer in Monster Hunter World required a PS Plus subscription, so most hunters nationwide will be PS Plus subscribers, so they can play both times.

In this beta test, you will be able to play 3 different quests with different difficulty levels.
