Get ready for a pocket-sized monster hunting adventure! Capcom and TiMi Studio Group (the minds behind Pokemon Unite and Call of Duty: Mobile) 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 expansive environments, from lush grasslands to serene lakes, teeming with life and monstrous threats. The game boasts seamless transitions between diverse biomes, including forests, swamps, and deserts. Witness dynamic weather patterns and observe natural monster interactions, including epic turf wars! Timi Studio emphasizes preserving the core gameplay while enhancing the unique battle system for mobile optimization.
Familiar Faces and New Threats
Prepare to face classic monsters like Diablos, Kulu-Ya-Ku, Pukei-Pukei, Barroth, Rathian, and the iconic Rathalos. But that's not all – a mysterious, cloud-shrouded behemoth hints at new challenges and potentially mutated monsters influenced by unique environmental conditions.
Mobile-Optimized Combat and Building
Combat is tailored for mobile, preserving core weapon mechanics while adapting them for touch controls. While specifics remain under wraps, available footage suggests a faithful translation of familiar gameplay. A novel building system lets you gather materials to construct structures and items, similar to Wild Hearts's Karakuri, potentially impacting both exploration and combat.
Character Selection and Customizable Hunters
Instead of character creation, you'll select from a roster of unique hunters, each with distinct personalities, stories, weapons, and skills. Familiar weapons and armor from previous titles will return, allowing for extensive character customization. The acquisition method remains undisclosed, but in-app purchases suggest a gacha system may be in play.
New Buddies Join the Hunt
Beyond the familiar Palicoes, Outlanders introduces unique buddies like a mischievous monkey and a helpful bird. Their roles in gathering and combat are yet to be fully revealed.
