■ Set Off For A New Hunt On An Island

A new hunting and exploration adventure begins on mobile today. Adventurers can use a range of weapon types and skills, along with crafting—a distinctive feature of the game—to unravel the mysteries of an island with its own unique ecosystem.

The new Radiant Species—monsters transformed by environmental influences—bring new adventures and challenges. At launch, players will encounter the original Elder Dragon Ruger Aidal, shining like a blazing sun, and the newly added Charge Blade weapon type. Controls optimized for mobile deliver a smoother, more freeform hunting experience. Three Buddies, each with their own unique personality, also join Adventurers on the hunt, adding color to the adventure through a wealth of activities and events.

The Original Elder Dragon Ruger Aidal and Radiant Monsters with Their Distinctive Ecology Arrive!

Wrapped in a dazzling radiance, the Elder Dragon Ruger Aidal descends like a blazing sun upon Aesoland, the setting for this adventure! Radiant Monsters, transformed by the island's environment, bring new adventures and challenges.

Classic Weapons & Original Adventurers: Unleash All-New Hunting Arts!

The eight classic weapon types are here: Great Sword, Long Sword, Dual Blades, Hammer, Lance, Charge Blade, Heavy Bowgun, and Bow. Each weapon forms a unique combination with distinctive Adventurers, preserving the core hunting experience while unlocking all-new follow-up moves! Available at official launch, the Charge Blade combines offense and defense, allowing hunters to switch between Sword Mode and Axe Mode.*

*Additional weapon types are planned to be added in future updates.

Team Up and Hunt on Mobile, Anytime, Anywhere!

Explore the vast field solo, or rally your friends to form a 4-player hunting squad. No matter when or where, face powerful monsters with your companions by your side!

Hunt, Explore, and Craft Alongside Your Buddies!

Palico, Rutaco, and Trillan—three types of Buddies, each with their own unique personality—join Adventurers on the hunt, adding color to the adventure through a wealth of activities and events.

Unleash Your Hunting Instincts on Mobile!

The series' classic weapons and hunting gameplay are faithfully recreated on smartphones, with controls deeply optimized for mobile devices to deliver a smoother, more freeform hunting experience. From time of launch, controllers support the major actions used during hunts, allowing Adventurers to enjoy hunting with a familiar control style. At launch, controller support covers hunts, the quest system and world exploration. The team is continuing to extend support across further areas of the game and will refine the overall controller experience in future updates. For Season 0, we've implemented initial controller support.

Given the limited development time, we've started by adapting controls for hunts, the quest system, and world exploration. We're still working to expand support to more parts of the game and improve the overall controller experience.
