Monster Hunter Now‘s release date has now been officially revealed and the countdown is on until launch, where several monsters and weapons are waiting.
Niantic’s real-world exploration title lands on mobile devices on Sept. 14, looking to build on the company’s long-term success of Pokemon Go.
While the Monster Hunter franchise has nowhere near as iconic Monsters as there are ‘mons in the Pokemon universe, there is still a wide array of Monsters to take on and Weapons to slay them with.
Many of those will be available immediately upon launch, with Niantic announcing the slate of Monsters and Weapons set to feature.

Will more Monsters and Weapons be added to Monster Hunter Now?
It’s highly likely that Niantic will introduce more Monsters and Weapons to Monster Hunter Now in the future, particularly with the regular updates Pokemon Go players have become accustomed to.
Popular monsters like Vaal Hazak, Magnamalo, Zinogre, and more are among those not yet confirmed to appear in Monster Hunter Now and could be saved for future updates to the game.
Similarly, Weapons like Dual Blades, the Hunting Horn, Lance, Switch Axe, and Charge Blade have not been confirmed for Monster Hunter Now but could also arrive in future updates.
