The free-to-play survival hunting action mobile game "Monster Hunter Now" launched on iOS and Android platforms on October 29. At launch, seven weapon types were available: Long Sword, Dual Blades, Great Sword, Hammer, Lance, Bow, and Heavy Bowgun, which players can switch freely based on their playstyle. This title is officially licensed by Capcom and developed by TiMi Studio Group.
Players take on the role of "Adventurers" traveling to Isolecia Island to investigate unknown phenomena occurring there. Influenced by mysterious stones, glowing and ferocious "Lumenspawn" monsters have appeared on the island. Players must track the traces left by these monsters while coping with the harsh survival environment.
Players can customize their protagonist's gender and appearance, and set a unique name that cannot be duplicated by other players. Names can be changed using tickets, with a 30-day cooldown between changes. In addition to customizing the protagonist, the game offers multiple playable characters, each specializing in attack, healing/defense, or environmental skills.
Exploration and crafting are also core systems. Players can gather resources on the island, set up ziplines, use gliders, and build watchtowers needed to expand the map, or craft turrets that intimidate monsters. The installation size is approximately 16GB for Android and 20GB for iOS, with support for PlayStation and Xbox controllers. Currently, confirmed launch information only covers mobile platforms.
