The wait is over—Monster Hunter Now released! The game is now available worldwide for Android and iOS devices, and don’t be fooled—it might be Niantic, but this is a different beast compared to Pokémon GO.

Today marks a significant milestone for Niantic, Capcom, and the Monster Hunter franchise. First announced a few months ago, the game has finally released worldwide for fans to enjoy!

The game has garnered over 3 million pre-registrations, and promises to bring the action of the Monster Hunter series to your backyard. Learn more over on the official website here.

To celebrate the launch and 3 million pre-registers, Monster Hunter Now will be sending out gifts later this month. You can learn more over on the developer’s official Twitter.

We’ve covered Monster Hunter Now previously in the past—translating the interview and Q&A, as well as the gameplay breakdown.

Monster Hunter Now is developed by the Japanese development team at Niantic. The game feels like a breath of fresh air compared to Pokémon GO, and we hope everyone has a fantastic time hunting!

As a huge fan of the mainline Monster Hunter series, this game feels like a faithful transition to mobile, whilst utilising the geolocation/AR-based gameplay Niantic is known for.
