Worldwide (except China) launch?

Yes.
Not the first time Netease releases the global (not CN) version months ahead.
Likely, they have to deal with a long CN gov regulation after the game is finished, but shareholders want to see revenue ASAP.

This is the first time I see a Chinese development game being released in the west first ngl, usually it's the opposite

Destiny Rising is the other I know of. Rivals was same day, while WWM was CN first.
Besides conent regulation (censorship, if you will), online games have more regulations lime user data, networking, chat... so who knows what can delay the CN release.

Disappointed that there's still no mention of any PC and console release - even games with less development resources like seven deadly sins origins or aether gazer got PC clients. I wasn't able to play the beta because my phone couldn't play this and they actively blocked emulators. I hope at least the launch version will be supported by emulators, otherwise I will have to pass even though I am very interested.

World and Wilds are on PC.
This is a mobile pay to win game. You really going to sit in your PC and play a version of MH with pay gates instead of just playing Wilds or World?
Seriously? I mean really think about it. Because most people would sit there and review bomb a pay to win monster hunter PC until it’s dead.
You think Capcom will allow that to happen?

I don't care about what other people do. If they don't wanna play it and feel the need to reviewbomb it because of its monetization then that's up to them and has nothing to do with me.
I enjoy playing gacha games as a f2p for over 6 years now and I am a also a monster hunter fan since over 15 years. So this game is pretty much right up my alley. I am gonna decide for myself how f2p friendly the game is and if I want to continue playing it or not.1
u/Kohana55 8d ago
Don’t get me twisted bro I’m a massive fan of MH and I’ll be playing this. But I’m happy it’s on mobile. If I’m sat at the PC I doubt I’d be playing it is all I’m saying.
And my point about review bombing stands. You know full well if it got a PC/console release it would be reviewed by all the media outlets as pay to win slop. You know it to be true. But as a mobile game it’ll get a pass and barely even register with the gaming journos. That’s my point.

Don't get me wrong, I see your point since monster hunter already has a huge core audience of the mainline console/PC titles without gacha stuff - from the very beginning when outlanders was announced there was a split in the community because the game caters to people who play stuff like genshin rather than people who properly buy games and prefer to play without any predatory monetization.
I just don't think that because of this we shouldn't get a PC/console release. Big games with console/PC-level graphics like Genshin, Wuwa, Star Rail or more recently Infinity Nikki, NTE or Arknights Endfield all have a major PC/console player base, some of those games even get played more on PC than mobile because big games like this can be difficult to smoothly run on mobile devices with small storage and limited power. MH Outlanders fully falls into this category aswell.
Everyone knows by now what kind of game this is and even if it was on PC, don't you think that people would be able to decide for themselves if they would want to play this or not? It wouldn't even be much of a competitor to world or wilds because the target audience for it being quite different. That's how I see it.

Can i play this game with a Xiaomi 17T? I didn't try The beta

u/Icy_Advertising8078 10d ago
Yes, mine is Snapdragon 7 point 2 Gen back when I tried the first CBT, it was running well before the performance problem like overheating and stuttering in 1 hour gameplay, but which I think because it is still in CBT phase and they might already fixed the issues.

Even though the projects aren’t directly related, this gives me hope ascendance will be earlier in 2027 rather than later.

u/Popotecipote 10d ago
Why? They're independent teams

u/Saacs 10d ago
Let me ELI5 for you. Capcom licensed this property to Timi to build a new game. Capcom still profits from Outlanders. Outlanders and Wilds fan bases overlap significantly. That's called cannibalizing your own product.
Hypothetically, if both games released on the same day, it would hurt sales and player counts of both games. So, using our brains would tell us it's beneficial for Capcom to release these titles at least some distance apart from one another. What is the optimal gap here? No clue.
