Capcom and Tencent’s TiMi Studio Group are developing a mobile Monster Hunter title.
Monster Hunter Mobile Game in Development
The Monster Hunter experience is about to go mobile. Just yesterday Capcom and mobile developer TiMi Studio Group owned by Tencent have announced that a Monster Mobile title is in the works. TiMi is behind mobile games such as Call of Duty Movile and Pokemon Unite.
So far no title has been named but it is described to “reproduce the hunting actions that define the Monster Hunter series” on mobile. There is also no release window so far. It’s also a wonder if the game may have a hybrid approach with a PC option such asGenshin ImpactorTower of Fantasy. There was no mention of the platform but a lot of releases these days seem to offer the option to play on PC. Even the mobile gameDiablo Immortalbecame a mobile PC hybrid after its not-so-warm welcome when it was first announced. Capcom could be sticking to a complete mobile experience though as the announcement just mentions “mobile devices and phones”.

Capcom have been full steam ahead with the Monster Hunter franchise recently, with releasing Monster Hunter World back in 2018 which first came to consoles and then PC after. Then they released the next main entry gameMonster Hunter Risewhich was a limited-timed exclusive on Switch and later launched on PC.
