Capcom and Niantic Announce Mobile Augmented Reality Game Monster Hunter Now
- Capcom and Niantic have collaborated to create Monster Hunter Now, a mobile game that combines Monster Hunter gameplay with augmented reality.
- The game will launch in September 2023 and be free to play with in-app purchases on Android and iOS.
- Players can find virtual resources and monsters in the real world, team up with others to hunt them, and craft gear.
- Combat uses simplified taps and swipes, and players can switch between weapon types like in the main Monster Hunter games.
- Niantic's real-world locations become resource points, and players can tag monsters in augmented reality to hunt later.
