Character Creation
Character creation is available in the OBT with the full suite of features that will be available in the full version! During the OBT period, you’ll also be able to remake your character as many times as you like.
You can also carry over your character creation data into the full version, so use this chance to design your perfect hunter and Palico.
Story Trial
In the Story Trial, players can experience the opening cutscene and play through the Chatacabra hunt with basic tutorials. Get a feel for the weapon mechanics and experience the seamless transitions from cutscenes into gameplay.
Meet the people of Azuz, the Everforge, and come face-to-face with three of the area’s new monstrous denizens, including the ominous Black Flame.
Doshaguma Hunt
In the Doshaguma Hunt, the goal is to defeat the alpha of the Doshaguma pack. Explore the vast locale on your Seikret and switch between two different weapon types on the fly as you experience the latest in hunting action.
You can use an SOS Flare during either quest. Use an SOS Flare to play with other players online, or to call for help from NPC Support Hunters—up to three of whom can join your party at once.
Multiplayer also features crossplay support letting you connect with players across different platforms.
