In a thrilling development for fans of monster hunting, Capcom has just announced an exciting new mobile spinoff titled Monster Hunter Outlanders! This groundbreaking title will bring the beloved Monster Hunter experience directly to your smartphone, and it’s being developed in collaboration with TiMi Studios, the powerhouse behind popular titles like Call of Duty: Mobile and Pokémon Unite.

Described as an “open-world survival game,” Monster Hunter Outlanders promises to deliver the quintessential elements that fans adore, including exploring, hunting, and crafting. Players can embark on epic quests solo or team up with friends in cooperative gameplay for up to four players, which means whether you prefer to go it alone or strategize with buddies, this game will cater to you.

The Monster Hunter franchise has skyrocketed in popularity since the release of Monster Hunter World in 2018, which not only became Capcom’s highest-selling game but also opened the door to various adaptations, including a live-action movie and the successful Monster Hunter Rise. With Outlanders, Capcom is not just recycling its famous formula; instead, they are integrating live service and social features, staying true to mobile gaming trends while preserving the essence of the Monster Hunter experience.

What's more, the development of Monster Hunter Wilds—the next major title in the series—set to launch next year, indicates that Capcom is firmly committed to expanding its universe in various formats.

While we are eagerly anticipating more details, including gameplay mechanisms and aesthetics, it's important to note that the launch of Monster Hunter Outlanders does not yet have a confirmed release date. Capcom has revealed that several playtests will take place ahead of the official launch, suggesting that they are taking the time to refine this experience before it hits the market.

So, are you ready to join the hunt and explore vast worlds filled with formidable beasts right from your phone? Stay tuned for more updates and get prepared to dive into the adventure of a lifetime!
