Get ready for a pocket-sized monster hunting adventure! Capcom and TiMi Studio Group (the minds behind Call of Duty: Mobile and Pokémon Unite) are bringing the thrill of Monster Hunter to mobile devices with Monster Hunter Outlanders. This free-to-play, open-world survival RPG promises the core Monster Hunter experience, optimized for on-the-go gameplay.
Open-World Hunting, Anytime, Anywhere
Explore vast environments, from lush grasslands to shimmering lakes, and encounter monsters in their natural habitats. The game boasts seamless transitions between diverse biomes, including forests, swamps, and deserts. Witness dynamic weather patterns and even inter-monster turf wars! The developers aim to retain the core gameplay of the series while enhancing the mobile experience, promising a uniquely fun battle system.
Familiar Faces and a Mysterious New Threat
Prepare to face classic Monster Hunter monsters like Diablos, Kulu-Ya-Ku, Pukei-Pukei, Barroth, Rathian, and the iconic Rathalos. But that's not all – a colossal, cloud-shrouded beast has been spotted, hinting at either a new monster or a returning favorite with a twist. Environmental conditions can also trigger monster mutations, leading to even more challenging hunts.
Optimized Combat and Innovative Building
Combat is meticulously tailored for mobile devices, preserving core weapon mechanics while adapting them for touchscreens. Specific details are still under wraps, but available footage suggests a faithful adaptation of the series' signature action.
A new building system lets you gather materials to construct houses and other items, aiding exploration (similar to Wild Hearts' Karakuri). Whether this system will impact combat remains to be seen.
Choose Your Hunter, Customize Your Style
Instead of character creation, Outlanders offers a roster of unique hunters, each with their own personality, story, specialized weapons, and skills. Familiar weapons and armor from previous titles will return, allowing for extensive character customization. The acquisition method for these hunters is currently unconfirmed, but in-app purchases are planned, suggesting a potential gacha element.
New Buddies Join the Hunt
Alongside the series' beloved Palicoes, Outlanders introduces unique buddies like a mischievous monkey and a helpful bird. Their full capabilities are yet to be revealed, but they'll undoubtedly assist in gathering and hunting.
