Unite Devs Engage in Wild Hunt with Monster Hunter Outlanders

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 lets you hunt anytime, anywhere.

Open-World Hunting on the Go

Monster Hunter Outlanders offers expansive environments to explore, from lush grasslands to serene lakes. Witness dynamic weather patterns and observe monsters interacting in their natural habitats. The developers promise to retain the core Monster Hunter gameplay while optimizing it for mobile. Expect seamless transitions between diverse biomes like forests, swamps, and deserts. Even witness epic turf wars between colossal creatures!

Familiar Faces and New Threats

Classic monsters like Diablos, Kulu-Ya-Ku, Pukei-Pukei, Barroth, Rathian, and Rathalos return. But a mysterious, cloud-shrouded behemoth hints at new challenges. Environmental conditions may even trigger monstrous mutations, adding a layer of unpredictable danger.

Combat is optimized for mobile, preserving core weapon mechanics. While details are scarce, expect a faithful adaptation of the series' signature action.

Crafting and Companions

A new building system lets you gather resources and construct items to aid exploration, similar to Wild Hearts' Karakuri. The impact on combat remains to be seen.

Choose from a roster of unique characters, each with their own story, weapons, and skills. Expect familiar weapons and armor from previous games, allowing for customization. The acquisition method for these characters remains undisclosed, but in-app purchases are confirmed, potentially indicating a gacha element.

New buddies join the hunt! Beyond the familiar Palicoes, a mischievous monkey and a swift bird offer support in gathering and combat. Their full capabilities await future reveals.

Stunning Mobile Graphics

The visuals are impressive, potentially rivaling Monster Hunter Rise on the Switch. While minimum requirements are unannounced, a website survey suggests compatibility with Snapdragon processors ranging from the 8 Gen 3 to the 845, offering a glimpse into device compatibility.
