However, Pokemon GO announced that Monster Hunter Now will be designed for everyone to enjoy, not just veterans of the series. One mechanic revealed by Niantic involves an item called the Paintball, which can be used on a monster to bring it home and hunt it alone or with someone else.
Obviously, Monster Hunter Now will be using Niantic’s location-based technology and AR (augmented reality) that overlays the real world with fantastical creatures. If the idea of being a hunter and teaming up with friends to take down the fiercest monsters in the world jives with you, then Monster Hunter Now has already opened up pre-registrations.
Those who wish to take part in the closed beta scheduled for next week can sign up at MonsterHunterNow.com. We expect the game to be available for free when it launches on Android and iOS this September.
