Monster Hunter Now has hit a million pre-registrations just a week into the sign-up period
Niantic has announced that Monster Hunter Now, the studio's real-world hunting app that boasts an official license from Capcom, has just hit a whopping 1 million pre-registrations - and that's only in the first 7 days. The game is set to launch worldwide on September 14th, and if you're keen on getting your hands on the milestone rewards that you can enjoy upon the game's release, you can still sign up on the official website until then.
In case you're not familiar with the title, Monster Hunter Now uses a similar concept to Pokemon GO in that you'll head out into the real world to track down creatures from the famed Monster Hunter universe. You can also create weapons and join other Hunters to fight against the monsters together.
In order to forge equipment, you have to collect materials as well to be able to defeat certain Monsters. With victory comes plenty of handy loot, and you can use these to create even stronger armour.

It's a free-to-play game with in-app purchases, and upon hitting the 2-million mark, Makeup x2 and Item Box Expansion +500 will be given away.
