Get ready for a pocket-sized monster hunting experience! Capcom and TiMi Studio Group (the team 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 lets you hunt anytime, anywhere.
Open-World Hunting on the Go
Explore expansive environments—lush grasslands, serene lakes, and more—filled with dynamic weather and a thriving ecosystem. Witness epic turf wars between colossal monsters! The game aims to retain the core Monster Hunter gameplay while optimizing it for mobile, promising a fun and unique battle system.
While a release date is unannounced, playtests are planned for Android and iOS. Sign up on the official website to stay updated and potentially participate in beta testing. Completing a short survey about your gaming experience and Monster Hunter preferences may increase your chances.
Stunning Mobile Graphics
Given TiMi Studio's track record, expectations are high. Gameplay footage showcases impressive visuals for a mobile game, even drawing comparisons to Monster Hunter Rise on the Nintendo Switch. While minimum system requirements remain unconfirmed, a website survey indicates support for Snapdragon processors ranging from the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 to the Snapdragon 845, offering clues about compatible devices.
