The Monster Hunter Now closed beta sign-ups are now live, giving players the chance to delve into the upcoming monster-slaying game before its official release date.

Monster Hunter Now aims to bring Capcom’s monolithic monster-hunting series to mobile devices with the help of Niantic, the developers behind the ever-popular Pokemon Go. However, instead of capturing and collecting monsters, Hunters will be tasked with tracking down the game’s toothy terrors in the real world and fighting them solo or with other players. 

While details on Monster Hunter Now have been rather scarce, the developers have released information on the upcoming closed beta. So, if you’re looking to get an early glimpse of the latest Monster Hunter mobile game, then our Monster Hunter Now closed beta hub has you covered.
