Lucky participants at gamescom also get to experience the "Adventurers' Feast" event in Cologne, plus a hands-on demo to boot! Admission is free, but you'll need to sign up and reserve your seat in advance if you want to immerse yourself in all the MH vibes at Haxenhaus this weekend. You can take a chance as a walk-in guest, but really, these things tend to get packed early, so guests with reservations will be prioritised first, as you might expect.
Now, as for the third CBT that's already underway, there's more to look forward to, such as the "Nergigante Approaches" Event, the "Crimson Authority": Recruitment, the "Hunting Dash" Event, and a login bonus where 60 Recruitment attempts will be given away. And at the end of the day, you also get to flaunt a shiny test-exclusive icon and title if you participated in the closed beta test.
Suffice it to say the hype is very much real, and if you're curious, Shaun shared his thoughts on his Monster Hunter Outlanders preview. Spoilers: he absolutely loved it.
