New Monster Hunter Game Announced, Exclusive to Non-PC Platforms, Separate from Wilds

There’s exciting news for Monster Hunter aficionados—another installment is on the horizon. Monster Hunter Outlanders is set to revolutionize the gaming scene by bringing the open-world survival genre to mobile platforms. Drawing inspiration from its predecessors like World, Wilds, and Rise, this game aims to capture the essence of the franchise while reaching an even broader audience.

Crafted by the talented TiMi Studio Group, known for their impressive work on Age of Empires Mobile, Call of Duty Mobile, and Pokemon Unite, Monster Hunter Outlanders promises to introduce Capcom’s beloved monster-hunting dynamics to the convenience of mobile devices. Unlike Monster Hunter Now, which wove augmented reality into its monster battles, Outlanders leans toward an open-world survival format—a fresh direction for the series.

According to TiMi, Monster Hunter Outlanders marries three core elements: exploring and surviving expansive maps teeming with familiar monsters, crafting essential gear and tools, and experiencing the classic hunter gameplay either solo or as part of a small team of up to four players. After immersing myself in the Monster Hunter Wilds beta, I can say that Outlanders appears to encapsulate that experience, now tailored for mobile.

Outlanders aims to keep players engaged with frequent world events and activities. If history is anything to go by, fans can likely expect an influx of new monsters and potentially fresh weaponry in future updates. Dong Huang, producer at TiMi Studio Group, shares that the game offers not just an authentic hunting experience but also immerses players in a vast open world with community-driven and social features that resonate with modern gamers.

One intriguing addition is the array of catapults that allow hunters to launch themselves into the air and glide to their destination. This feature bears a resemblance to the glider mechanics seen in Breath of the Wild and Genshin Impact, promising a smoother and faster way to traverse the game world.

While a specific release date for Monster Hunter Outlanders hasn’t been disclosed yet, the game is set to launch on both the Apple App Store and Google Play, complete with multiple play tests to whet players’ appetites.
