Capcom has officially announced Monster Hunter Now, a cutting-edge mobile game that combines the thrill of real-world exploration with the excitement of battling fearsome monsters. Developed in collaboration with Niantic, the creators of Pokémon Go, this innovative spin-off is poised to revolutionize the world of mobile gaming.
At its core, Monster Hunter Now is an action-packed RPG that encourages players to venture out into their surroundings to track down and vanquish majestic creatures. Building on the success of Niantic's previous titles, such as Pikmin Bloom, this game takes the concept of location-based gameplay to new heights by incorporating AI-powered features that enhance the overall experience.
One of the most exciting aspects of Monster Hunter Now is its emphasis on real-world exploration. Players will be able to find and battle monsters using various weapons, upgrade their gear with resources, and explore with their partner Palico, all while teaming up with up to four friends locally. The game's visuals have also received a significant boost, offering a massive step-up from many of Niantic's previous titles.
To ensure a seamless experience, the developers have implemented time-friendly features like battles that cap out at 75 seconds maximum and a feature allowing players to mark a monster they see out and about to fight later, in their own time. This allows for a more relaxed pace, making it easier to fit in some gaming action amidst a busy schedule.
The game's closed beta is set to launch on April 25th for both iOS and Android devices, with spots available for up to 10,000 participants. To sign up, simply visit the official website and register your interest. The full game is currently slated to launch in September 2023, with regular updates and news shared with all registrants.
