Monster Hunter Outlanders Closed Beta Coming in November 2025

Explore the New Mobile Monster Hunting Experience

Capcom and TiMi Studio Group have officially announced a Closed Beta Test (CBT) for their upcoming mobile title Monster Hunter Outlanders. The beta is slated to begin in November 2025, and registration is open now through November 7 (UTC‑7).

This marks a major milestone for the game’s development and gives players in SEA and beyond a first chance to dive into its world.

What Is Monster Hunter Outlanders?

Monster Hunter Outlanders is designed as an open‑world survival action game set in the Monster Hunter universe. Players will explore a vast land called Aesoland, with interconnected biomes like forests, swamps, and deserts. You’ll face giant monsters using familiar weapon classes, while also engaging in crafting, exploration, and cooperative play.

Unlike simpler mobile adaptations, this game aims to preserve the essence of the franchise: hunt, gather, craft, and upgrade equipment. It’s Monster Hunter with a mobile-first design, but not at the expense of depth.

Key Features and New Mechanics

• Adventurers & Buddies: Players control “Adventurers” — characters with unique skills — who are supported by buddies like the classic Palico, as well as newcomers Rutaco and Trillan.
• Radiant Species: Monsters enhanced by the mysterious mineral Radiantite will appear throughout Aesoland. These Radiant Species are more aggressive and powerful than their standard counterparts.
• Exploration & Crafting: Each biome offers rich opportunities for resource collection and gear creation. Discover hidden paths, rare materials, and story elements as you progress.
• Mobile-Optimized Combat: While streamlined for touchscreen controls, the combat system retains Monster Hunter’s iconic weight and strategy, offering real-time dodging, countering, and skill combos.

Closed Beta Test Details

SEA Players — Why It Matters

While no regional exclusivity has been confirmed, Monster Hunter’s massive popularity in Southeast Asia (SEA) makes it highly likely that this beta will be accessible or localized for SEA gamers. The registration is open globally, so SEA players should act fast and secure their spot.

This CBT will also help determine game stability across regional networks and devices, which is critical for a smooth SEA launch.

Final Thought

Monster Hunter Outlanders could be one of the most ambitious mobile Monster Hunter titles ever developed. With open-world design, robust companion systems, and new mutated monsters, the game looks poised to offer more than just another mobile spinoff. The closed beta is a crucial moment, allowing the developers to refine performance, address balance, and shape content based on feedback.
