Monster Hunter Outlanders to launch globally on October 29, 2026

Capcom and TiMi Studio Group have announced that Monster Hunter Outlanders will launch globally on October 29, 2026, for iOS and Android devices. The free-to-play title features in-app purchases and is being developed under Capcom's license and supervision. While the global release is set for late 2026, the version for mainland China is scheduled to arrive in 2027.

Set in the open world of Aesoland, the game combines traditional Monster Hunter hunting mechanics with survival elements, resource gathering, and base building. Players can explore various biomes, hunt monsters, and craft equipment. The game introduces a new Adventurer system where players can switch between different characters with unique skills, alongside classic weapon types like the Great Sword, Long Sword, and Hammer. The Charge Blade weapon will also be available at launch.

Outlanders features original content, including the Elder Dragon Ruger Aidal and new companions such as Rutaco and Trillan. To accommodate mobile users, the developers have implemented optimized control modes, including a simplified “Adventure” mode for newcomers. Players can hunt solo or in cooperative teams of up to four. Pre-registration is currently open on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
