Augmented reality mobile game Monster Hunter Now launched in September of 2023 for iOS and Android devices, published by Capcom. Sound production is overseen by Masato Kouda of Design Wave Co., Ltd.

To celebrate the one-year anniversary of launch, Pokémon Go developer Niantic Inc. has published Monster Hunter Now Original Game Soundtrack Vol. 1 & Vol.2. The soundtrack release coincided with the application's first large-scale real-life event, "Carnival 2024: Shibuya."

Both volumes of the soundtrack are streaming on Apple Music and Spotify. Series main theme "Proof of a Hero," composed by Kouda for the first installment in the long-running franchise, is revisited on "MHNow ver. - Jazz Arr." The album features jazz piano performed by Keiko.


From the product page:

Embark on a global quest to track down and hunt some of the most formidable monsters from the Monster Hunter universe as they appear in our world. Forge powerful weapons and team up with fellow hunters to track down larger-than-life monsters and take them head-on.

Apple Music - Monster Hunter Now (Original Game Soundtrack), Vol. 1 / Monster Hunter Now (Original Game Soundtrack), Vol. 2

Keiko さんには、#モンハンnow のJazzピアノも演奏いただいています。先日配信スタートしたサントラでは、ゲーム中に収録できなかった素晴らしいピアノソロも聴けますので、ぜひ皆さんにも聴いていただきたいです！

この日の収録の件は、また公表できるタイミングがきましたら告知いたします。 https://t.co/4NSIK88b1c
