Capcom and TiMi Studio Group, creators of Age of Empires Mobile, Call of Duty Mobile and Pok, are developing an ambitious fresh Monster Hunter mobile gameANDMon. unite Titled Monster Hunter Outlanders, the game is billed as a “new, full-featured game” in the series with multiplayer hunters and sweeping exploration. According to an IGN representative, the game will be free and will allow for in-app purchases.
The initial trailer shows what fans can expect from the fresh mobile version, which promises an open world filled with familiar monsters like Anjanath and the Great Jagras. As with the core games in the series, Monster Hunter Outlanders appears to feature multiple biomes that can be explored using a glider similar to the one Link uses in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Despite being a mobile game, it boasts impressive graphics and can be played solo or with friends.
“It’s time for mobile gamers to fully enjoy what makes Monster Hunter one of the most beloved gaming franchises,” says TiMi Studio Group producer Dong Huang. “Monster Hunter Outlanders not only offers players an authentic hunting experience, but it does so in a massive open world with the community and social systems that gamers are looking for today.”
Monster Hunter Outlanders won’t be the only Monster Hunter game on mobile, but it looks like a more customary experience than Niantic’s Monster Hunter Now, an augmented reality game released in 2023. TiMi Studio Group says it will look to combine hunting with the series known for its regular events and activities around the world.
Monster Hunter Outlanders doesn’t have a release date yet, but TiMi Studio Group says it plans to do some testing in advance. Meanwhile, Capcom is also gearing up for the release of Monster Hunter Wilds, which had a wild start earlier this month with over 463,000 players on Steam. Monster Hunter Wilds will officially release on Xbox, PS5 and PC on February 28.
