Capcom has released Monster Hunter Puzzles: Felyne Isles Furever, a new offline version of its mobile puzzle game, on iOS and Android. The new version has more than 2,400 puzzles, and it arrives as the original Monster Hunter Puzzles: Felyne Isles gets ready to shut down its online service. The official Monster Hunter account announced the launch earlier today. Check out the official post down below:
What Felyne Isles Furever Includes
Felyne Isles Furever is a puzzle game where players face off against monsters that threaten the Felynes. Pieces can be moved diagonally to create special pieces, and a feature called Meowllocation Time turns the tables by letting players make a ton of special pieces at once.
The game also uses a wide range of items from the Monster Hunter series, which players can use to set up combos. Monsters from across the Monster Hunter games appear as opponents during quests.
Outside of the puzzles, players collect acorns from quests and use them to help the Felynes rebuild their island. Completing buildings brings in tourists, and materials from quests can be used to change the designs of items and buildings. Players can also dress up their avatar in different outfits and invite friends to visit their island. Capcom lists the price as varying by store.
The Original Felyne Isles Is Ending Service
The original Monster Hunter Puzzles: Felyne Isles launched worldwide on iOS and Android on June 26, 2024, as a free-to-play match-3 game with in-app purchases and more than 450 puzzles at launch. According to Capcom's End of Service notice, Monster Hunter Puzzles: Felyne Isles will end its service on January 14, 2027. VIP License subscriptions will no longer renew, and in-game purchases have ended as of today, November 12. Players do not need to cancel their VIP subscription themselves, and they can keep using gems and boosters until the end of service.
After the service ends, players will still be able to play the parts of the original game that do not need a connection, but Capcom will no longer support it. Master Rankings, online functions, new downloads and customer support are all part of the shutdown schedule.
Save Data Transfers
Capcom says players will not lose their progress. Current play data can be moved into the Furever version using the device's cloud service, which is iCloud on iOS and Google Cloud on Android. Capcom lists these conditions for the transfer:
- The original online app must stay installed, since the transfer requires it. Deleting it means the data cannot be moved.
- Versions before 2.25.00 cannot transfer data.
- Data can only be transferred between the same operating systems, so iOS to Android transfers, and the reverse, are not possible.
- Some features change in the Furever version, so some data will not carry over and some will be changed.
- Players may need to update their device's operating system before transferring.
Although Furever is the offline version, Capcom notes that it requires a connection on startup to confirm content.
Coming To Nintendo Switch And Steam
Capcom says the game will also be ported to Nintendo Switch and Steam, with the release date and other details to be announced later.
The planned Switch and Steam ports follow other Monster Hunter spin-offs that have moved to new platforms, as covered in MONSTER HUNTER STORIES And MONSTER HUNTER STORIES 2 Released Today On New Platforms. Check out the original trailer for Monster Hunter Puzzles: Felyne Isles below:
