3 articles · Updated · Gematsu · Jun 24

Summary

  • Jotoyo announced Monster Fantasy for PC via Steam, but did not give a release date for the action RPG-life sim hybrid.
  • July 15 is the next key milestone: the Chengdu-based studio plans to open a Kickstarter campaign, with an earlier report saying a free demo will accompany it.
  • More than 50 giant monsters, four classes, online multiplayer and monster taming form the game’s core loop, alongside fishing, cooking, gathering and crafting.
  • Around 100 villagers populate the Kingdom of Eldoras, where players take an amnesiac hero through monster hunts or village-building in a flexible playstyle.
  • A prior report said the crowdfunding push is meant to fund added areas, a longer story and more online features, with a late-2027 PC launch target.
