The development team behind the highly anticipated mobile game, Monster Hunter Now, has exciting news for fans. They have announced the opening of a new beta testing phase, allowing players to get a firsthand experience of the upcoming title. However, it appears that this second beta test will have certain limitations, narrowing down the number of players who will have access to this new Monster Hunter spin-off video game.
With the recent release of the last Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak update, the community has been buzzing with speculation about what lies ahead for the beloved Capcom series. While there haven't been any major announcements about a new mainstream title, there have been minor updates regarding spin-off games like Monster Hunter Now and Monster Hunter Puzzles: Felyne Isles. As the launch of Monster Hunter Now is set for September 2023, it makes sense for Capcom to divert the audience's attention towards the games that will be released sooner rather than later.
Monster Hunter Now has announced a second round of closed beta testing for its mobile title on Twitter. However, this time around, access to the new Monster Hunter spin-off will be limited to Android users only. Unlike the initial closed beta period, where both iOS and Android users were allowed to register, the developers have now restricted participation. Additionally, the game's website states that only approximately 10,000 participants will be accepted for this round.
Android users who are interested in trying out Monster Hunter Now and its AR features are advised to sign up for the new beta test period as soon as possible. Those who successfully register will receive direct feedback from the development team, although it should be noted that not all participants will be granted access to the game. The second closed beta test is scheduled to commence by the end of June 2023, and registered users can expect to hear back from the developers around that time.
Not many updates or specific gameplay information regarding Monster Hunter Now have been disclosed by Capcom or Niantic. Fans are currently relying on a brief teaser trailer that offers glimpses of important elements such as monsters, equipment, and the beloved Palico companion. It is anticipated that further details will be revealed following the conclusion of the second closed beta and as the game's release date approaches.
The mobile version of Monster Hunter Now is scheduled to launch in September 2023.
