Tencent Games, one of the biggest game companies in China announced this April that they would team up with Capcom to develop Monster Hunter Online (MHO), a free-to-play MMORPG set in the Monster Hunter universe. The game is aimed at the international market, not just China. Moreover, it runs on CryEngine 3 and has entered closed beta test on June 28.
AMD has announced that it has partnered with Tencent Games in order to visually enhance Monster Hunter Online, as well as bring a number of performance optimizations to it.
Monster Hunter Online recently launched in China under the watchful eyes of partners Tencent Games and Capcom. The game’s producer, Mr Tao from Tencent, gave an interview where he stated the co-operation with Capcom does not stop at Monster Hunter Online, listing out series such as Resident Evil, Street Fighter, Devil May Cry, Onimusha, Dino Crisis, and Sengoku Basara as examples.
Tencent have announced that players are now able to download the pre-client for the upcoming Open Beta of the highly anticipated Monster Hunter Online. The client is now ready to download on the official website ahead of the official release for the Open Beta event which is scheduled to arrive on December 17th.
It will probably take 10 days to download and just as long to learn to navigate the character creation screen but hell, I can't wait :D
Wonder if it'll develop a following in the states? I know there are some PSO2 fans stateside.
Very cool. Thank you. Going to be giving this a try. Love MH, hopefully they didn't dumb down or ease what were used to for broader appeal.
My internet is pretty decent and I'm currently at 3% after 4 hours. If you're looking to jump in on launch day, get that download going :D
Can't wait for this to come out in America!
I hope it gets released in the UK as well, if they do decide to release it outside of China.
PLEASE HURRY WITH THIS GAME!
this might be the game im most excited for this year!
This game needs to come to the EU!
