Monster Hunter Outlanders announced for 2025

Capcom has been making moves in the mobile market, bringing AAA titles to iOS and releasing mobile-only games like Monster Hunter Now. Capcom has recently unveiled its next generation mobile Monster Hunter game, which aims to bring the full open-world experience of the main PC and console games to mobile. 

Monster Hunter Outlanders is being developed in partnership with TiMi Studio Group, which has produced major titles like COD Mobile and Pokémon Unite. With Monder Hunter Outlanders, the company aims to bring the full open world Monster Hunter experience to mobile, with different biomes and familiar beasts to take down solo or with friends.

The trailer seems to primarily be cinematic, so it is hard to tell how far along the actual game is. Hopefully though, we'll get more news in 2025.

As Monster Hunter can be a bit of a slow game movement-wise, Capcom is including new traversal mechanics to speed up the process of getting around the map, including a glider to coveer large distances, and a grapple hook, like the one from Monster Hunter Rise, to skip over short distances.

The game will be free-to-play and naturally, that also means in-app purchases. Considering the game will feature crafting and materials, I have some concerns about the potential for MTX in Monster Hunter but hopefully additional purchase items will be limited to cosmetics.
