Capcom and TiMi Studio Group have announced Monster Hunter Outlanders, a new smartphone spinoff in the popular monster hunting franchise.

Monster Hunter Outlanders will be co-developed by Capcom and TiMi Studio Group and will launch as a free-to-play game for both iOS and Android, though a release date wasn’t announced. Several playtests are planned before the game launches.

“It’s time for mobile players to fully enjoy what makes Monster Hunter one of the most beloved franchises in gaming,” TiMi Studio Group producer Dong Huang said. “Monster Hunter Outlanders not only offers players an authentic hunting experience, but it does it in a massive open world featuring the community and social systems players are looking for today.”

Here’s a rundown on the game, plus its reveal trailer:

Vast open world and crafting features

You can explore a seamlessly connected field that includes forests, swamps, and deserts, and enjoy hunting anywhere, anytime using your smartphone.

In addition to being able to take advantage of environmental creatures and field gimmicks to gain an advantage, we are also developing features such as a crafting function that will make it easier to explore the vast open world.
