Monster Hunter Outlanders Sets October 29 Launch on iOS and Android

Capcom and Tencent’s TiMi Studio Group have set October 29, 2026, as the planned iOS and Android launch date for Monster Hunter Outlanders. The free-to-play mobile game is built around exploration and monster hunting, with a separate mainland China release planned for 2027. Pre-registration is open through the App Store and Google Play. 61323

Release date, platforms and pre-registration

The October 29 date is an announced release date, not a launch that has already taken place. Capcom says TiMi Studio Group, a Tencent Games subsidiary, is developing the game. 6 The mainland China version is scheduled for 2027, separate from the October mobile release. 13

The game is listed as free with in-app purchases, and pre-registration is available through the major mobile app stores. 313 The launch announcements cited here do not specify whether Japan will have dedicated servers, so server arrangements should be treated as unconfirmed.

How Outlanders adapts Monster Hunter for mobile

The core loop remains recognizable: explore, hunt monsters, and gather materials to craft equipment. The mobile game introduces a new setting and original Adventurers, Buddies and monsters alongside the series’ familiar weapons and hunting. 36

Its controls are designed for different levels of experience. Adventure Mode streamlines the controls and onboarding, while Classic Mode is aimed at players who want more of the series’ detailed weapon mechanics. Developers have also said they plan to add controller support in stages after release; that does not mean it will necessarily be available on launch day. 21

The available announcements describe exploration and a new world, but do not establish a complete launch-day list of monsters, weapons or traversal tools. Those details should not be assumed from general descriptions of the game. 36

What the mobile release means for Capcom

Capcom has framed the mobile title as a way to use its Monster Hunter flagship series to expand its player base. TiMi is developing the licensed game, while Garena is identified as its publisher in Southeast Asia. 475

That makes Outlanders both a new mobile hunting game and a test of how the series’ exploration, equipment crafting and weapon-based combat translate to touch controls. The announced release date and platform plan are clear; the details of Japan’s server setup and some launch content remain unspecified.
