Monster Hunter Now Release Date

Monster Hunter Now is an AR game that will be available on iOS and Android devices on September 13th. The game is the latest from Niantic, the developer best known for its work on Pokemon Go. While Pokemon Go has been a massive success for the company, subsequent games have struggled to find an audience, including Harry Potter: Wizards Unite; Wizards Unite lasted just two years on the market before the game was shut down. Early interest in Monster Hunter Now seems to be significantly higher, and that bodes well for the game’s hopes of maintaining an audience.

Monster Hunter on PC and Consoles

The Monster Hunter franchise has long been one of Capcom’s most successful. Monster Hunter World is actually the company’s best-selling game, having sold more than 19 million units worldwide. The size of Monster Hunter’s pre-existing audience also bodes well for Monster Hunter World‘s popularity, as fans of the series could end up giving the game a try on mobile. Monster Hunter has been going strong since 2004, and Capcom has released several games in the series since, including multiple spin-offs. That makes it somewhat like Pokemon, in that Niantic will have a lot of material to adapt in Monster Hunter Now, ensuring that players have a reason to keep coming back!
