The development team of the upcoming mobile game from Capcom and Niantic, Monster Hunter Now, has just announced an upcoming online showcase that will delve into the title's gameplay. Both companies have been very quiet about Monster Hunter Now features and gameplay, so the live stream is definitely something interested fans should check out.
The only recent details fans have about Monster Hunter Now involve its closed beta and call for testers. A teaser trailer was also unveiled when the game was announced back in April 2023, and minimally showcased elements like its AR features and battle system. Monster Hunter Now's release time frame was also revealed in the trailer, telling fans to expect the game this September 2023. However, the upcoming online event might actually give players an exact date during the release period.
On the official Twitter account, the team announced that an online showcase talking about Monster Hunter Now's release date and gameplay will be held this July 27, 2023, at 4:00 AM PDT or 1:00 PM CEST. The live stream will be held on the game's YouTube channel but not much else was shared on the tweet. However, fans will likely notice that the key Twitter image displayed four members of the development team. According to the post, the devs will be discussing their own stories behind the game's development, aside from the obvious topics of the gameplay showcase and official release date.
Many fans will probably be excited about this kind of event, especially since it is highly reminiscent of mainstream title updates done by the team for the Monster Hunter series. This may indicate that more important information will be revealed during the online showcase, especially since close to no details have been shared or leaked from the game's closed beta. However, positive and excited replies on the Twitter thread have shown that the community is eager to see what the team has in store for fans who want to play Monster Hunter Now.
Though many fans are hoping that Capcom will announce an addition to the Monster Hunter mainstream games soon, hosting this showcase for the spin-off can probably be considered good news for the series' future. Fans are likely expecting great things from both Capcom and Niantic, so hopefully the mobile title will live up to the high standards of the player base.
Monster Hunter Now is set to release in September 2023 for mobile devices.
