TiMi Studio Group and Capcom have announced Monster Hunter Outlanders, a jointly-developed open-world survival game set in the Monster Hunter universe for mobile platforms including iOS and Android. It will be a free-to-play title.

However, a release date was not announced at the time of writing.

TiMi Studio Group producer Dong Huang said:

“It’s time for mobile players to fully enjoy what makes Monster Hunter one of the most beloved franchises in gaming. Monster Hunter Outlanders not only offers players an authentic hunting experience, but it does it in a massive open world featuring the community and social systems players are looking for today.”

Players will explore seamlessly connected fields, including forests, swamps, and deserts, and enjoy hunting anytime and anywhere on your smartphone. Not only can you utilize the environment’s creatures and field mechanics to gain the upper hand, elements useful for exploring the game’s vast open-world like crafting individualized gear and tools are also being prepared.

While maintaining the core gameplay experience of the Monster Hunter series, Monster Hunter Outlanders has optimized its battle system to maximize enjoyment. Face off against monsters while wielding the series’ traditional weapons. As you progress through the story, you will encounter various unique characters. Not only can they become your allies, but you will also be able to control them yourself.

In addition to the Monster Hunter series’ familiar Felyne companions, Monster Hunter Outlanders will introduce other companions who will join you on quests and assist with item gathering and monster hunting. Partake in the traditional hunting experience where you can play solo, or join a hunting party of up to four.

It’s a good time to be a Monster Hunter fan, with another mainline entry, Monster Hunter Wilds, coming out in 2025.
