The Monster Hunter Wilds beta is now live on PS Plus which means we will start to learn new details about the next installment in the series over the coming hours and days. In fact, we know something new about Wilds already even though the beta is only a few hours old. Monster Hunter Wilds has an arachnophobia mode, and it turns the game's spiders into something that doesn't look much like a spider at all.
Spoiler alert: Monster Hunter Wilds is a game filled with monsters. It might still be four months until launch, but we already know that much. While looking at fantastical beasts that don't resemble anything from the real world likely won't be a problem for most players, creatures in the game that look like insects and spiders could pose a problem. Thankfully, Automaton has already noted Monster Hunter Wilds has something Capcom has dubbed Arachnophobia Assistance.
The next Monster Hunter game is getting its own range of PS5 accessories, but they'll only be released in Japan.
When turned on, Arachnophobia Assistance doesn't only deal with any spiders you might encounter during the Wilds' beta, but insects too. Presumably anything with six legs or more...
