Monster Hunter is a storied game franchise beloved by gamers worldwide, and it’s getting a new title with a mobile game called Monster Hunter Outlanders. The game was officially announced by Capcom on November 12. Monster Hunter Outlanders will be coming to Android and iOS devices, although it won’t be the first Monster Game on mobile.
Capcom has released Monster Hunter Stories and Monster Hunter Puzzles for Android and iOS devices. In addition to a demo version of Monster Hunter Stories that people can play to check out the game for free (the full game is $19.99).
Capcom also worked with Niantic of Ingress and Pokémon GO fame to launch Monster Hunter Now . Those games are quite different from your typical Monster Hunter game, however. Monster Hunter Outlanders promises to deliver “authentic hunting action to mobile.
” That means players will probably get an experience that’s a lot more like Monster Hunter World. Monster Hunter Outlanders will be an open-world game Open-world games can be daunting due to their massive scale but they can also be quite fun to play for several reasons. One of those is the ability for the player to explore things at their own pace and sort of play the game how they want.
There will no doubt be a structure to the quests players must complete to progress in Monster Hunter Outlanders. That being said, being open-world will give players freedom of choice in where they go and what they do first. There’s always something appealing about that.
Monster Hunter Outlanders will have unique regions, Capcom says, which will all feature natural environments, ecosystems, and monsters . You will also be able to craft weapons and tools to suit your hunting needs. One weapon may not work as well against a particular monster as another.
Additionally, the game can be played solo, or with others if you like teaming up. Players will be able to form hunting parties with up to four people. So you can look for three others to join your team and you can all hunt stuff down together.
Check out the game’s trailer In addition to the announcement, Capcom has put out a trailer that actually shows off what appears to be some of the gameplay. It starts with a cinematic. Later on, player characters are shown exploring the vast world of the game.
The graphics look pretty good which shouldn’t be surprising. These days, mobile game studios have loads of tools to work with that amplify visuals. It’s gotten to a point where some games are indistinguishable from PC and console games.
The trailer doesn’t show off any combat or other game mechanics that revolve around the announced features. Other than the exploration. It’s also worth noting that these are likely early development gameplay videos, shown running on the no doubt beefy PCs that are being used to create the game.
So graphics are probably subject to change. Regardless, the trailer makes the game look promising. It’s also being developed by Timi Studios, who has worked on other popular titles like Call of Duty: Mobile, Pokémon Unite, and Age of Empires Mobile.
