It’s been a while since we last heard of Monster Hunter Outlanders, with its official announcement trailer dropping on November 13, 2024, and very little news popping up in the ten months since. That all changed today, as a new Monster Hunter Outlanders TGS trailer has arrived, along with the opportunity for attendees to try the game out for themselves. And, while we can’t attend in person this time, we did get the exciting chance to attend a Discord presentation, where we had a first look at MHO and a quick chat with the team about this intriguing new action-adventure game.
The Monster Hunter games have strong roots in the handheld space, with multiple titles spanning across the PlayStation Portable, Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo Switch, and, in the case of Monster Hunter Freedom Unite and Monster Hunter Now, even mobile. However, with two of the most well-known entries in the series – 2018’s Monster Hunter World and this year’s Monster Hunter Wilds – arriving on home consoles and PC, I feel it’s easy for newer fans to miss this fact, even if they’re familiar with 2021’s excellent Nintendo Switch game Monster Hunter Rise.
Hopefully, this won’t be the case much longer, though, as Capcom is working in collaboration with TiMi Studio Group (the minds behind some of the biggest and best mobile games, including Call of Duty: Mobile and Pokémon Unite) to bring this full-fat, current-gen Monster Hunter experience to Android and iOS.
