Monster Hunter AR Game From The Pokémon Go Dev Gets A Release Date

You can now pre-register for the Android and iOS versions.

Monster Hunter Now, an augmented reality game in the series of Capcom's legendary monster-hunting series, received a release date. Pokémon Go developer Niantic revealed that its AR title will be released on September 14.

You can now pre-register for the iOS and Android mobile versions of the game at the official page of the game. If you do that, you'll get in-game bonuses that scale up based on the number of people who sign up. If 500,000 people sign up, for example, people will get 10 potions and 3 paintballs which are used to mark monsters if you want to approach them later. If the game gets 5 million signups, players will receive 10,000 Zenny and a 1,000-slot inventory expansion.

The developer also provided other details including the list of monsters and weapon types from the action role-playing game series that will be available in the AR project at launch. 

Weapons:

  • Great Jagras
  • Kulu-Ya-Ku
  • Pukei-Pukei
  • Barroth
  • Great Girros
  • Tobi Kadachi
  • Jyuratodus
  • Paolumu
  • Anjanath
  • Rathian
  • Legiana
  • Rathalos
  • Diablos

"The notion of majestic monsters roaming around city streets was extremely compelling as a real-world game," said Niantic’s chief product officer Kei Kawai said.

Pokemon Go was an instant hit for the developer but other AR titles from the team didn't find the desired success. Do you think the developer will have a different story with Monster Hunter Now?
