Development director Bryan Li says the game offers two control schemes: Classic Mode for experienced action gamers and simplified Adventure Mode for newcomers. It skips a riding system but adds zip lines and ballistas for navigation, plus a new main storyline. The game is free-to-play, with monetization limited to new hunting styles, cosmetics, and time-saving convenience items, none of which grant extra power. Li says TiMi had little direct contact with Niantic, maker of the AR-based Monster Hunter Now, despite both being part of Capcom's mobile ecosystem. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.

Monster Hunter Outlanders is free-to-play, letting players access all storylines, core game modules, and key systems without spending money. Monetization covers three categories: new hunting styles called adventurers (not more powerful, just different styles), cosmetic and vanity customization items, and time-saving convenience purchases. The developers state there is zero intention to sell power through any of these. _Developers weighing free-to-play monetization models can track live-service design decisions like these on daily.dev._ ### Does Monster Hunter Outlanders have a riding system like other Monster Hunter games? No, Monster Hunter Outlanders does not include a riding system. Instead, the mobile game adds alternative navigation gadgets such as zip lines and ballistas to enrich how players move through the world, alongside a newly designed main storyline not found in other Monster Hunter titles. _Anyone adapting console mechanics for mobile can compare design trade-offs like these on daily.dev._ ### What are the two control modes available in Monster Hunter Outlanders? Monster Hunter Outlanders offers Classic Mode, aimed at players experienced with mobile action games, and a simplified Adventure Mode, tailored for players less familiar with the Monster Hunter franchise.
