Monster Hunter gets an open world RPG spinoff for mobile

I Monster Hunter The franchise brings, well, monster hunting to your smartphone. Capcom has announced a partnership with TiMi – the studio behind games like Call of Duty: Mobile again Pokémon Unite – it’s called a spinoff Monster Hunter Outlanders. It is described as an “open world survival game” that can be played alone or cooperatively with up to four players. It sounds like Outsiders will include key features a MonHun experience (ie exploring, hunting, and crafting) but with a live service and social features typical of a mobile game.

That recent success, combined with TiMi’s history and MonHunProgeny as a tangible experience, it is a good sign that this can be more than a mobile money deduction. It may be a while before we get to check out the game for ourselves, however, as it currently doesn’t have a release date. Capcom says there will be “a lot of early playtesting” for the launch.
