Monster Hunter producer Ryozo Tsujimoto lauded Niantic’s AR technology on the developer’s website. Monster Hunter Now is “something that can be played casually, while honoring the gameplay and hunting action that only Monster Hunter can offer.”
Last year, Pokémon Unite developer Timi Studio Group announced a Monster Hunter mobile game, thus Capcom appears to be aiming to dominate the mobile gaming market with its popular IP. Monster Hunter has been ported and exclusive to mobile phones several times.
