TiMi Studio Group is developing Monster Hunter Outlanders under license from Capcom for iOS and Android, with a worldwide release set for October 29, 2026 outside mainland China, and it is updating Delta Force with Japanese voice acting for all 17 operators on September 8.
TiMi Studio Group's near-term slate is led by Monster Hunter Outlanders, a smartphone title developed under an official license from Capcom. The game is free to play with item-based microtransactions and runs on iOS and Android, with a worldwide release set for October 29, 2026 in regions outside mainland China. Pre-registration has begun on the App Store and Google Play. Coverage traces the project back to a November 2022 announcement that TiMi was working on a new mobile Monster Hunter game, and the studio also developed Call of Duty Mobile and Pokemon Unite.
Marketing for Outlanders has centered on its original monsters. A trailer at gamescom Opening Night Live introduced the Elder Dragon Ruger Aidal, shown with an aurora phenomenon and transforming into a mass of flames, and franchise composer Tadayoshi Makino is handling the music. A later Tokyo Game Show 2026 demo instead featured the Elder Dragon Luga Earda, which TiMi producer Don Huang described as a holy knight in golden armor drawing on swordplay and shield imagery. Hands-on coverage noted a four-person party, three NPC allies in the demo, and two control schemes: Starting Mode with attack, special, and evade buttons that connect combos automatically, and Hunting Mode with manual combos and skills. Capcom producer Akio Sekino said the hunting, gathering, and crafting cycle is preserved, with adventurers added as an Outlanders-specific element.
Delta Force is the studio's other active title in the stories. Japanese voice acting for all 17 operators arrives on September 8, the same day the 2nd anniversary season Reorientation begins. Earlier, a Rainbow Six Siege collaboration on July 10, 2026 added operator skins based on Vigil, Montagne, and Doc, with two free, plus free weapon skins, collection items, and the THE BAIKIN SHOWDOWN event.

TiMi Studio Group is developing the smartphone title Monster Hunter Outlanders under an official license from Capcom, with a worldwide release set for October 29, 2026 in regions outside mainland China. The game is free to play with item-based microtransactions and runs on iOS and Android. At Tokyo Game Show 2026, outlets played a hunt against the game's original Elder Dragon, Luga Earda, a monster whose design concept TiMi producer Don Huang described as a holy knight clad in golden armor, drawing on swordplay and shield imagery. Players sortie in a four-person party, and in the demo three NPCs joined. The demo offered two control schemes: Starting Mode, played with attack, special, and evade buttons that connect combos automatically, and Hunting Mode, which hands players multiple buttons for manual combos and skills. Capcom producer Akio Sekino said the core cycle of hunting, gathering materials, and crafting equipment is preserved, with adventurers added as an Outlanders-specific element.
