Get ready for a pocket-sized monster hunting adventure! Capcom and TiMi Studio Group (the minds behind Pokemon Unite) are bringing Monster Hunter Outlanders to mobile devices. This free-to-play open-world RPG promises the thrill of the hunt, anytime, anywhere.
Mobile Monster Hunting Redefined
Monster Hunter Outlanders aims to deliver a complete Monster Hunter experience optimized for mobile. Explore vast, seamless environments – lush grasslands, tranquil lakes, and more – teeming with iconic monsters. Witness dynamic weather and observe natural monster behavior. The developers promise to retain core Monster Hunter gameplay while enhancing the unique battle system for mobile.
While a release date remains unannounced, playtests are planned for Android and iOS. Register on the official website to stay informed and increase your chances of participating in beta testing.
The visuals, judging by trailers and screenshots, are incredibly impressive for a mobile game, potentially rivaling Monster Hunter Rise on the Switch. While minimum system requirements are yet to be revealed, a website survey hints at compatibility with Snapdragon processors ranging from the 8 Gen 3 to the 845, suggesting a degree of adaptability for various devices.
Key Features of Monster Hunter Outlanders
