On the twenty-ninth of October, a familiar hunting world found a new home in the pockets of mobile players, as Garena released Monster Hunter Outlanders on Google Play and the App Store. Built under the watchful licensing of Capcom and developed by TiMi Studio Group, the game carries the series' old pleasure of tracking and felling great beasts into a new, smaller frame. It arrives bearing generous launch rewards, a gesture that invites newcomers and returning hunters alike to step onto the island and see what the hunt has become.
Garena Launches Monster Hunter Outlanders, Pairing Series Hunts With Mobile Co-op and Launch Rewards
A new weapon that switches between sword and axe forms
Mark
So what actually launched on October 29?
Mimi
A mobile Monster Hunter game called Outlanders, published by Garena, built by TiMi Studio Group, and licensed and supervised by Capcom. It's on Google Play and the App Store.
Mark
What's different from the console games?
Mimi
It has original Adventurers, crafting-driven exploration, and co-op parties of up to four on Isolesia Island. There's also a new weapon, the Charge Blade, which switches between sword and axe forms.
Mark
The launch rewards sound big. Up to 400 recruits?
Mimi
That's the figure for what players can earn through missions and events, including SSR Adventurers Enshou and Luka and the SSR Buddy Kojiro.
Luke
Worth saying what that number is. It's Garena's own promotional figure, expressed in in-game currency terms. We don't know how hard it is to actually collect all of it.
Mark
Controllers are supported too, right?
Mimi
For select content: hunting, missions and field exploration. Garena says it will expand that.
Luke
Which means it's partial today, and the expansion is a plan, not a date. Nothing in the reporting says when.
Mark
And the outdoor ads in Seoul?
Mimi
Gangnam, Pangyo and Hongdae are named, rolling out in sequence, with social media events alongside.
Luke
Also nothing here on downloads, reviews or how the game performs. This is a launch announcement, so it tells us what's offered, not how it plays.

On the twenty-ninth of October, a familiar hunting world found a new home in the pockets of mobile players, as Garena released Monster Hunter Outlanders on Google Play and the App Store. Built under the watchful licensing of Capcom and developed by TiMi Studio Group, the game carries the series' old pleasure of tracking and felling great beasts into a new, smaller frame.

On October 29, Garena released Monster Hunter Outlanders to mobile players through Google Play and the Apple App Store. Capcom licensed and supervised the title, and TiMi Studio Group built it, aiming to carry the series' hunting spirit into a phone-sized world with original Adventurers and crafting-driven exploration.
The story unfolds on Isolesia Island, where the Elder Dragon Ruger Aidal glows with light and the island's ecology has twisted other creatures into Radiant Species. Players can roam alone or form parties of up to four for co-op hunts, joined by the Buddies Palico, Rutaco and Medley. A new weapon, the Charge Blade, shifts between sword and axe forms and joins seven familiar weapon types.
The launch brings Nest Hunt and Arena modes, and its headline draw is a rewards package worth up to 400 recruits, with SSR Adventurers and a SSR Buddy among the prizes. Community events add more reasons to return: a friend invite event runs until November 30, and the Hunt Bonds event unlocks titles and stamps for everyone once combined Storm Squad levels reach a target.
Controls are built for touch, with controller support limited to hunting, missions and field exploration for now. Garena plans to widen that support and refine the controls over time. Meanwhile, advertisements are rolling out across Seoul and Gyeonggi, from Gangnam to Hongdae, as the game asks whether its mobile hunt can hold players past launch week.
On October 29, Garena put Monster Hunter Outlanders into the hands of mobile players, releasing the survival hunting action game on Google Play and the Apple App Store. The title is licensed and supervised by Capcom and developed by TiMi Studio Group, and it arrives with a stack of launch rewards.
The pitch is to carry the Monster Hunter series' signature hunting into a mobile setting while adding original elements: unique Adventurers and exploration driven by crafting. The game adapts the series' iconic weapons and hunting experience to phones, with controls built for mobile devices. From day one, controller support is available for select content, including hunting, completing missions and field exploration. Garena says it plans to widen that coverage and make controls more convenient over time.
The story is set on Isolesia Island. Its original Elder Dragon, Ruger Aidal, has a body that radiates light, and the island's distinctive ecology has mutated other creatures into what the game calls Radiant Species. Players can roam the field freely or form a party of up to four for co-op hunts. Buddies named Palico, Rutaco and Medley join them in hunting, exploration and building.
The launch video shows original Adventurers fighting Radiant Species in new ecosystems. It also shows the Charge Blade, a new weapon type that balances offense and defense by switching between sword and axe forms. It joins seven existing weapon types.
New modes are part of the opening package. Nest Hunt has players take on monsters across a range of difficulty levels, and the Arena lets them compete on equal terms.
The rewards are the headline for launch week. Through in-game missions and celebration events, players can earn the equivalent of up to 400 recruits. Prizes include the SSR Adventurers Enshou and Luka and the SSR Buddy Kojiro. A separate event centers on a new Adventurer, Midori.
Two community-facing events run alongside. The friend invite event continues until November 30. In the official launch event, Hunt Bonds, all players receive limited titles and stamps once the combined Storm Squad levels across all regions reach a set target.
Garena is also taking the launch outdoors. It plans to roll out advertisements in sequence across major areas of Seoul and Gyeonggi Province, including Gangnam, Pangyo and Hongdae, along with official social media events. Further details are on the game's official website and social channels. The near-term things to watch are the November 30 end of the invite event and whether controller support grows beyond its select launch content.
