Monster Hunter Wilds may be on the horizon, but it's not the only new place where you can enjoy creature-hopping action; Capcom and Tencent's TiMI Studio Group have announced Monster Hunter Outlanders, a new “full-featured” open-world survival game coming to mobile devices at some currently unspecified time in the future.
Unfortunately, details on Monster Hunter Outlanders are extremely limited at this time, but Tencent says players will be able to engage in the series' “traditional hunting experience,” crafting and building “individualized gear and tools” while “exploring and surviving regions.” unique”. of an open-world map featuring natural environments, ecosystems, and monsters.”
There is also talk of “social features” and “regular global events and activities, which create immense opportunities for the community to have fun together.” The assumption, of course, given TiMi's specialty and Outlanders' mobile focus, is that everything will be free-to-play, although that's not explicitly stated in Tencent's announcement.
As for Capcom's next flagship monster hunting game, it will be Monster Hunter Wilds, launching for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC via Steam on February 28. And if Wilds' recent Steam open beta numbers are anything to go by, and assuming Capcom can fix those lingering technical issues, the publisher could very well have another big hit on its hands.
