Monster Hunter Outlanders is out now on mobile. TiMi Studio Group announced that the survival hunting action game, developed under license from Capcom, officially launched on Thursday, October 29, 2026, for iOS and Android, bringing the Monster Hunter series to phones with an adventure built around hunting, exploration and crafting.

The hunt takes place on an island with its own unique ecosystem, where players set out to unravel its mysteries. Waiting for them are Radiant Species, monsters transformed by the island’s environment, led by an original Elder Dragon, Ruger Aidal, which descends on the setting of Aesoland shining like a blazing sun.

Eight classic weapon types from the series are in the game: Great Sword, Long Sword, Dual Blades, Hammer, Lance, Charge Blade, Heavy Bowgun and Bow. The Charge Blade is available from launch and is shown off in the launch trailer — it combines offense and defense, letting hunters switch between Sword Mode and Axe Mode. Each weapon pairs with distinctive Adventurers, and additional weapon types are planned in future updates.

Players can explore the field solo or rally friends into a four-player hunting squad. Three Buddies — Palico, Rutaco and Trillan, each with their own personality — join the hunt and help with crafting and the activities and events around it. Controls have been optimized for mobile, and controller support covers the major hunting actions from launch, including hunts, the quest system and world exploration, with support set to expand in future updates.

Launch events are already running. The first-month calendar opens with “Flowing Maple Melody,” a hunting challenge event featuring the Long Sword Adventurer Midori, alongside a chance to try Midori out, and players can earn enough recruitment items to make more than 400 recruitment attempts in total. The Adventurer’s Guild Campaign runs from October 29 to November 30, inviting players to team up and level their guilds toward a shared milestone that unlocks the “Let’s Set Off” sticker and an honorary title for everyone. A special livestream showcase, The Great Hunt, will bring creators and streamers together for gameplay and challenges, and launch advertising is on display in New York and Berlin. The mainland China version of the game is planned for release in 2027 or later.
