Monster Hunter Outlanders: Mobile Open World Adventure from Pokémon UNITE Creators
Capcom and TiMi Studio Group (the creators of Call of Duty: Mobile and Pokémon Unite) are bringing monster hunting to mobile with Monster Hunter Outlanders, a free-to-play open-world RPG. Hunt anytime, anywhere on your smartphone!
Open-World Monster Hunting on Mobile
Monster Hunter Outlanders offers a vast, seamless open world featuring diverse environments like lush grasslands, lakes, and deserts. Experience dynamic weather and observe monsters interacting naturally in their habitats, including epic turf wars. The game aims to retain core Monster Hunter gameplay while optimizing controls for mobile.
The game boasts impressive visuals for a mobile title, potentially rivaling Monster Hunter Rise on the Switch. While minimum requirements aren't officially confirmed, a survey suggests compatibility with Snapdragon processors ranging from the 8 Gen 3 to the 845.
Familiar Monsters and New Challenges
Expect to encounter classic monsters like Diablos, Kulu-Ya-Ku, Pukei-Pukei, Barroth, Rathian, and Rathalos. A mysterious new monster, shrouded in clouds, hints at exciting new challenges and potentially mutated creatures influenced by unique environmental conditions.
Combat is tailored for mobile, preserving core weapon mechanics, though the full extent of adaptations remains to be seen.
New Features for Mobile Hunters
- Building System: Gather materials to construct houses and tools aiding exploration, similar to Wild Hearts' Karakuri. Whether this system impacts combat is yet to be determined.
- Character Selection: Choose from a roster of unique characters, each with distinct personalities, stories, weapons, and skills. Weapon and armor customization is confirmed. The acquisition method suggests a gacha element with in-app purchases.
- New Buddies: Beyond Palicoes, meet new companions like a monkey and a bird, assisting in gathering and hunting. Their full capabilities are still under wraps.
