Monster Hunter Now Announced
3K View2023-04-18
Niantic, the augmented-reality and location-based game developer, has partnered with Capcom, the gaming giant, to create a new mobile game based on the long-running Monster Hunter Franchise. The new title, Monster Hunter Now, features third-person gameplay, and players are required to travel to real-world locations to hunt down monsters.
Unlike Niantic’s previous AR games, the camera perspective is in third person, similar to the core series entries. Capcom commented that the game aims to blend the appeal of the Monster Hunter series with Niantic's development technology, and features that allow players to team up with others for hunts or hunt monsters encountered while the app was closed later in their spare time.
Monster Hunter Now represents a new and exciting partnership, but also represents a maturing of Niantic's development, as it has had a number of cancelled titles in recent times. With Monster Hunter, Niantic is taking a "best of both worlds" approach that keeps things familiar but with Niantic’s own personal stamp on it.

What is Monster Hunter NOW? [60-Sec. Review]
Ever wanted to play Monster Hunter on the go? Well, now you can!
Monster Hunter Now is a portable reimagining of the classic monster slaying series made for mobile phones. As a collaborative project between Capcom and Niantic, Now aims to deliver a faithful recreation of the monster hunting experience that lets you play on the go.
Although the HP system can be frustrating and slow at times, the game is much more engaging than the early version of Pokemon GO.
