Capcom has shared news about a new Monster Hunter game, working together with TiMi Studio Group, which is part of Tencent. In 2020, they tried to capture the spirit of the beloved open-world survival game with Monster Hunter Riders, but unfortunately, the game was shut down in June 2022. The upcoming title, Monster Hunter Outlanders, promises to be larger and more true to the original experience.
Stunning Visuals
The official trailer introduces viewers to the beautifully varied environments typical of the Monster Hunter series, showcasing lush jungles, arid deserts, and towering mountains. The latter half of the trailer provides a glimpse into gameplay, highlighting different ways to navigate the world, though it lacks any visible user interface or fighting scenes.
Gameplay Features
In Monster Hunter Outlanders, players will have the ability to glide, swim, climb, or use a grappling hook to traverse the landscape. It will also feature the well-known crafting and companion systems that fans of the main Monster Hunter games on consoles and PC are familiar with. Anjanath, a fan-favorite monster, makes an appearance, suggesting that it may be available to hunt in the mobile version.
Release Information
Currently, there is no specific release date for Monster Hunter Outlanders from Capcom and TiMi. Nevertheless, the developers plan to hold several beta tests. If you’re interested in participating, you can sign up on the official website to learn more.
