From pocket monsters to monsters, Niantic is set to take another leap in the Augmented Reality gaming world. The makers of Pokemon Go will debut Monster Hunter Now next month. Watch out for dragons, hydras, or legendary beasts popping up near the streets or in gardens following the global release of MHN.

Fans are expecting the real-world hunting action RPG to be a huge success because it will be the first time that AR-gaming pioneer Niantic joins hands with iconic Japanese video game company, Capcom. Moreover, Monster Hunter Now will have unique gameplay instead of the usual catch-the-monster-to-control-them mechanics.

Defeating a monster will reward players with craftable materials and gears. They can upgrade their arsenal on mobile. Watch out for special events, Raids, and even research missions similar to Pokemon Go to grab hold of some legendary gears. As you would’ve guessed, the whole point of the game is getting the best armor, swords, and shields.
