Gameplay 

While the trailer may be brief, we did get a glimpse of how the game will play. During the trailer, we can see players teaming up to take down monsters like the series flagship Rathalos, using iconic weapons to unleash deadly attacks. 

However, unlike previous titles in the franchise, Now focuses on real-world encounters that “entice players to go out with their Palico and encounter incredible monsters.” 

Meanwhile, Ryozo Tsujimoto, Producer of the Monster Hunter series stated that “Niantic’s AR technology delivers a ‘here and right now’ hunting experience, something that can be played casually while honoring the gameplay and hunting action that only Monster Hunter can offer.”
