"Monster Hunter World" fans are in for a treat as Capcom recently announced the coming of the title's PlayStation 4 beta. The good news has been revealed on the video game company's Unity website on Friday, Dec. 1, detailing what is about to come.

This will be the last time that game enthusiasts can experience the role-playing video game before it is officially released. The beta test will run from Saturday, Dec. 9, to Tuesday, Dec. 12.

However, players can start pre-loading "Monster Hunter World" on Friday, Dec. 8. It will be exclusive for PS4, which has to have 5.9 GB of free space, and PlayStation Plus subscribers.

The beta test will include three quests in two of the game's environments. The first one is the Ancient Forest. Here, beginners can meet the Great Jagras, while the more experienced players can face the Anjanath. The second one is the Wildspire Waste filled with intermediate-level enemies called Barroth.

There will also be a new mode to be introduced in "Monster Hunter World" beta called the Training Room. Here, players are free to test their weapons. They will have the ability to choose from 14 different armors, depending on the playstyle they like.

Additionally, gamers have the option to complete the game alone or play with three others gamers online. They can also try to use potions and other additional supplies added in the beta.

In "Monster Hunter World's" full game, players can get a lot of useful bonus items. But they have to use the same Sony Entertainment Networks account for the beta test and the full game. For more details, click here.

"Monster Hunter World" is set to be released on Jan. 26, 2018 on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. On the other hand, PC gamers have to wait a little longer as it will be revealed on the platform at a later date.
