Capcom Expands the Monster Hunter Universe to Mobile Devices

The beloved Monster Hunter series is set to make its mobile debut with a new game titled Monster Hunter Outlanders. Capcom has partnered with TiMi Studio Group, known for popular titles such as Call of Duty: Mobile and Pokémon Unite, to develop this spinoff. The game is described as an “open-world survival game” that allows for solo gameplay or cooperative play with up to four players.

Monster Hunter Outlanders aims to retain the quintessential features that fans of the franchise cherish, such as exploration, monster hunting, and crafting. However, it also incorporates live service and social mechanics that are common in mobile gaming, potentially broadening its appeal to a wider audience.

The collaboration between Capcom and TiMi comes at a time when mobile gaming is experiencing rapid growth, further signaling a promising opportunity for Outlanders beyond being just another mobile title. The blend of TiMi’s established success in mobile game development and the Monster Hunter franchise’s history with portable gaming platforms suggests that this could evolve into a significant entry in the series.

While the excitement builds around this new addition to the franchise, details regarding its release remain scarce. Currently, no launch date has been announced, but Capcom has indicated that players can expect “several play tests” prior to the game’s official unveiling, allowing dedicated fans to get an early look at what’s in store.
