<p>Those eager to get their hands on <a href="http://ift.tt/2sVTFcy">Monster Hunter World</a> will be able to sample it once again as part of a final beta test for the upcoming game. Unlike the second beta that ran in December, this one will introduce some new content, but it&#8217;ll unfortunately once again be limited to <a href="http://ift.tt/2mUsZbd">PlayStation 4</a>.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Capcom announced the third and final beta test today, which will run just days before the game&#8217;s full release. In North America, the beta will go from January 18-22 on PS4. Exact timing was not shared, but Capcom confirmed that due to time zone differences, it will kick off on January 19 in Europe.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><a href="http://ift.tt/2iUuhUt">Monster Hunter World&#8217;s first beta</a> was conducted in early December, exclusively for PlayStation Plus subscribers on PS4. A <a href="http://ift.tt/2krupsb">second beta</a> followed later in the month for all PS4 owners consisting of the same two areas and three monsters to hunt: the Great Jagras, Anjanath, and Barroth. All of that will be present in this final beta, but you&#8217;ll also get to square off against World&#8217;s flagship monster, the Nergigante.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Nergigante is an Elder Dragon and the monster featured on World&#8217;s box art. The full game also sees the return of several other Elder Dragons, as well as the introduction of some new ones, which are showcased in <a href="http://ift.tt/2Awbce7">World&#8217;s new trailer</a>.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Monster Hunter World launches for PS4 and <a href="http://ift.tt/2nK1ajp">Xbox One</a> on January 26. It&#8217;s also headed to <a href="http://ift.tt/2COEyH8">PC, with Capcom recently saying that version will arrive this fall</a>. The PS4 version has gotten not only preferential treatment with betas, but it will also receive <a href="http://ift.tt/2gRzUOK">exclusive content themed around Horizon: Zero Dawn</a>.</p>
