Your adventure does not end when the hunt is over. In Monster Fantasy, everyday life is part of the journey.


WHY MONSTER FANTASY IS STANDING OUT

Players and media are starting to see what makes Monster Fantasy its own thing. Yes, the Monster Hunter and Animal Crossing comparisons are easy to make, but the game is doing more than that.

You’ve got giant monster hunts, tamable companions, village building, crafting, gathering, and the cozy side all working together in one game.

IGN got hands-on with an early build and focused on that freedom to move between the bigger monster hunts and the quieter village life, gathering, crafting, and everything in between.

THE TEAM CREATING ELDORAS

Jotoyo is an independent studio based in Chengdu with nearly 30 developers. The team brings experience from established commercial games and Chinese single-player titles, along with a shared passion for action RPGs and life simulation.

That combination shapes every side of Monster Fantasy, from large-scale hunts and class-based combat to village life, relationships, and quieter days spent exploring Eldoras.

A SOUNDTRACK BUILT FOR THE JOURNEY

Monster Fantasy’s music is being created in collaboration with Audio Sub-base.

The musicians behind the score have contributed to My Time at Sandrock, My Time at Portia, and The God Slayer, and participated in the Abbey Road recording sessions for Monster Hunter Rise.

BE AMONG THE FIRST TO ENTER ELDORAS

Monster Fantasy is an action RPG and life sim that brings large-scale monster hunting, village building, relationships, crafting, monster taming, and four-player online co-op together in the Kingdom of Eldoras.

Monster Fantasy’s first closed FirstLook playtest is expected to begin in September 2026, giving the team an early opportunity to gather feedback and continue shaping the experience.

Future waves will expand access to selected media and creators, offering an early look at the world, combat, monsters, village life, and online co-op.
