So, when does Monster Hunter Now release?
Monster Hunter Now release date
According to the official Monster Hunter Now website, the game will launch in Sept. 2023. The exact date of the release, however, hasn’t been revealed. The team revealed a teaser trailer for the upcoming real-world hunting action role-playing game in a Twitter post from the official Monster Hunter Now English account.
And there was another exciting announcement—while there are still a few months until the official release of Monster Hunter Now, fans of the franchise can sign up for the closed beta test, which will begin on April 25. But if you are interested in the beta, it’s important to note that the spaces are limited, so you may not get in.
