Monster Hunter Outlanders Release date
What Capcom and TiMi have actually confirmed about Monster Hunter Outlanders’ 2026 mobile launch.
Monster Hunter Outlanders is a 2026 iOS and Android hunt. That year is official. A single global calendar day is not. This page is the honest status, not a fake countdown. The announcement trailer is where the name became public.
Timeline that is real
- 9 November 2022 — Capcom announces a smartphone Monster Hunter with TiMi Studio Group.
- November 2024 (G-STAR) — Title reveal, announcement trailer, website pre-register interest.
- TGS 2025 — Gameplay trailer, booth play, CBT 1 recruitment.
- 27 November–4 December 2025 — Closed beta 1 (Japan, Canada, USA).
- 29 April 2026 — Closed beta 2 goes live, NDA lifted, more regions.
- 2–24 July 2026 — CBT 3 recruitment; test starts 7 August 2026.
- 26 August 2026 (gamescom) — Store pre-registration on App Store and Google Play, Ruger Aidal reveal.
Details of each test sit on CBT history. Rewards sit on pre-register. The gamescom week itself sits on Gamescom 2026.
What “2026 launch” means in practice
Official social copy around the flagship trailer said “MHO is coming in 2026.” Store pre-register is the strongest launch signal short of a day. Some Indonesian and regional articles cited 15 December 2026 from store metadata. That is worth watching and not worth printing on a cake until @MHO_English or the Japanese account says it.
If you are reading this after that date, check the store listing. Wikis do not override stores.
Platforms
iOS, iPad, Android. Publisher: Level Infinite globally, Garena in parts of Southeast Asia. Developer: TiMi Studio Group. License: Capcom. No confirmed PC client — developers declined to comment in Q&A.
What to do this month
- Pre-register on the store you own.
- Learn Adventurers and weapons.
- Read the review so the gacha sentence is not a surprise.
- Customize a fantasy overlay in your head using controls.
When a day is locked, this title updates. Until then, anyone selling an exact alarm clock without a source is guessing.
How to read a “leaked date”
Store metadata, Chinese licence filings, and regional publisher pages have been wrong about Monster Hunter dates before. A mid-December 2026 stamp on a listing is a clue, not a patch note. If @MHO_English, the Japanese account, or the official site put a day on a trailer, this page will quote that sentence and date the edit.
Until that happens, the useful calendar is the one we already have: pre-register is open, CBT 3 ran in August 2026, Ruger Aidal is public, Raya is a milestone gift. That is enough to pre-register, learn Adventurers, and stop refreshing a fake countdown.
What launch will actually ask of you
A phone that clears the CBT floor, an overlay you have already thought about, and a party plan that is not four Assaults. The hunt is the surprising part of the review. The live-service pieces are not surprising. Install on the account that tapped pre-register so Contracts and Raya land. Then hunt a base wyvern on the map before you spend energy on a Radiant.
If you are here from “Monster Hunter Outlanders codes,” there are none — full explanation on the codes page. Rewards are milestones. If you are here from “is it Roblox,” it is not. Capcom licensed it; TiMi built it; Level Infinite and Garena ship it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers for hunters landing on Aesoland.
Is there an official global release date?
Not as a locked day-one from Capcom/TiMi at the time of writing. Pre-registration opened 26 August 2026.
Why do some sites say 15 December 2026?
Regional store or licensing copy has circulated that date. Treat it as unverified until official English/Japanese channels repeat it.
Is the game out now?
Public access is pre-register plus closed betas. CBT 3 began 7 August 2026 for selected regions.
What platforms?
iOS and Android. No confirmed PC or console client.
What should I do while waiting?
Pre-register, learn the roster, and read CBT notes so launch day is not your first overlay.
