Capcom is partnering with Tencent’s Timi studio to create a new Monster Hunter game for mobile devices.
The pair said on Tuesday the in-development game will reproduce the hunting actions that define the Monster Hunter series while offering players a new game experience unique to mobile platforms.
Monster Hunter is Capcom’s second best-selling franchise with 88 million units shipped as of September 2022, trailing only Resident Evil (131m) and comfortably ahead of third-placed Street Fighter (49m).
The publisher’s top-selling game of all time is 2018’s Monster Hunter: World (pictured) with 18.5 million shipped, ahead of 2017’s Resident Evil 7 (11.3m) and 2021’s Monster Hunter Rise (11.2m).
Established in 2008, Timi is best known in the west for Call of Duty Mobile, which has topped 650 million downloads since launching in November 2019.
It is also behind the League of Legends-inspired Honor of Kings, a Chinese sensation which consistently ranks among the top-grossing mobile games worldwide.

Timi developed 2021 Switch and mobile release Pokémon Unite, and last May it announced a strategic partnership with Xbox.
The studio reportedly generated $10 billion in 2020, making it the world’s largest developer at time, according to Reuters sources.
