I can still remember when Niantic told me about this project, I immediately said 'Let's do it' without giving it a second thought." Monster Hunter series producer Ryozo Tsujimoto added: "We are very pleased to be working with Niantic, who has the best AR technology in the world, to bring you a completely new Monster Hunter game. The notion of majestic monsters roaming around the neighbourhood and cities was extremely compelling as a new real-world game." That's been a really important part of the IP for nearly two decades. "The series is all about collecting with friends, playing as a family, and making new friends. During a press briefing, Niantic's chief product officer Kei Kawai said Monster Hunter is a "perfectly natural fit" for the company's style of games. Monster Hunter Now builds upon the formula of previous Niantic titles such as Pokémon Go, with the series' monsters placed around the real-world via the in-game map.
Registrations are now open for the beta test, which will kick off on Tuesday, April 25. The game will be developed and published by Niantic, and is due to arrive on the iOS App Store and Google Play in September. Capcom's Monster Hunter will be the next hit series to get the Niantic treatment, with location-based game Monster Hunter Now launching for mobile later this year.
