Monster Hunter Now

About

Monster Hunter Now sends players into the wild to track and battle creatures using their phone's camera. Developed by Niantic and published by Capcom, it overlays hunts onto real-world maps, letting you gather materials and craft gear as you explore. Team up with friends for cooperative fights or tackle beasts solo. Combat requires quick reflexes and strategy, balancing weapon swaps with environmental clues. The game leans on Niantic's AR expertise, making local parks and city streets feel like monster-infested territories. Early community feedback highlights the seamless blend of exploration and combat, though some note the pace can lag between encounters. With over 10 million pre-registrations, it’s clear players are eager to mix Capcom’s monster lore with location-based fun.
