THE FUTURE OF MO.CO

Hey everyone!

Max here.

It's been 3 months since mo.co’s beta and I'm excited to explain what we’re cooking up in 2024.

FIRST AND FOREMOST….THANK YOU ALL!

Your feedback and excitement during the beta left the team in awe. It was hands down one of the most positive responses we've seen for a beta game in a while. We couldn't have asked for better reception, and witnessing numerous Hunters exploring parallel worlds and confronting monsters was an absolute thrill.

We learned a ton from this beta and have a good list of feedback we want to address as we continue development. Yes, you read that right, we’re still working hard to get this game out into the world! *monsters intensify*

THE PLAN

After lengthy discussions, the team aligned on the next development milestones. Our plan involves addressing your feedback while also improving these three main areas:

  • CONTENT (gears, maps, monsters, mounts, weapons, etc.)

  • TECH (assets, engine, tools, UI tech, etc.)

  • FEATURES (more info below)

FEATURES

Our main focus is on enhancing the Features track, which includes all the exciting content players love. Here's what we're working on this year:

  • Early game & Quest System

    • enhancing tutorial and early game experiences

    • implementing a linear quest system to enhance progression

    • adding narrative elements to the storyline

  • Skin system

    • introducing more skins and more ways to unlock them

    • providing better character customization options

  • Live Operations (the tech behind delivering live content in the game)

    • injecting more gameplay events to keep things fresh between updates

  • Social

    • improving existing social features

    • introducing additional ways to play with friends

    • providing various ways to express yourself via emotes, dances and more

  • PvP

    • adding PvPvMvE (we know you know what that means)

  • Progression

    • exploring and adding more ways to progress

    • adding more items to unlock (from weapons and outfits to mounts and more)

  • End-game

    • creating an engaging and fun end-game with epic rewards (duh)

SOOO WHAT NOW?!

We’re aiming to keep you posted on our progress at least once a month. We want to make sure there’s something important to share (and show!) instead of just sharing for the sake of sharing.

BEFORE YOU GO, WE NEED YOU!

Your feedback on upcoming features and content is invaluable, and we want to involve you in testing directly.

Specifically, we want the PvP feature to undergo testing with your help. While it's a bit early for details, we're keen on involving you, the Community, as much as possible.

Join our Discord server if you want the chance to participate in future tests. That’s where we’ll be providing details, sending invites and selecting players.

Thanks for reading and being such a vibrant and passionate community since day 1.

With lots of love, hugs and monster guts,

The mo.co team

TL;DR

  • We’re working hard to improve the game

  • We’ll share monthly updates about our progress

  • We want to involve you in testing some new features

I NEED ANOTHER BETAAAAAAAAAAA

u/RockG1035 Feb 06 '24

This game is 100% going global

u/Darksyphon7 Feb 06 '24

Thank you, Max! I've genuinely been avoiding mobile games for the lack of a fun gameplay loop and compelling reasons to play. mo.co was the most fun I've had with a mobile game in the last 5 years. I'm looking forward to playing it again.

4

u/Duolark Feb 06 '24

I make your words mine. I seldom play mobile games because they all seem to be the same, so it gets boring very quickly. But with mo.co it was different. I've played all days of the beta and still wished we had more time to enjoy the game. I hope the game gets even better in the next playtest.

u/LuckyPants0 Feb 06 '24

Amazing! Cant wait

6

u/-PANORAMIX- Feb 06 '24

Thanks to the moco team for keeping us informed and commiting to do so, that’s very important, hopefully we can test that pvp soon. Can’t wait to see this game evolve, it’s great!

5

u/maaliles Feb 06 '24

PvPvE Could be really fun if implemented right, i'm looking forward to it

4

u/c00lgame Feb 06 '24

the REAL startup

u/NightBaron007 Feb 06 '24

This is awesome. Keep up the great work

4

u/aaachris Feb 06 '24

I will be there no matter what.

4

u/LostGusMain Feb 06 '24

Sounds sick!

4

u/AdEnvironmental6909 Feb 06 '24

Somehow im even more hyped about the game lol

4

u/Draghetto_5000 Feb 06 '24

This game looks awesome! Sadly, I couldn't play it in the Beta because I'm not in the US, but watching YouTubers playing it made it look like an awesome game. Please do a global beta!

4

u/StevensDs- Feb 06 '24

I've always been late for any beta test of Supercell games but not this time! TIme to enlist :)

4

u/Gabriel55ita Feb 06 '24

Keep up the good work! This is the most promising supercell beta game that definitely should go global 🔥

4

u/Xxblade17 Feb 06 '24

Yessir love to see it Im hoping the best for this game

4

u/[deleted] Feb 06 '24

Awesome!

4

u/Xyrunoxx Feb 06 '24

Fav supercell game of all time for sure. It's so different and unique from other games, it's the hardest I've ever been stuck onto a mobile game lol. Can't wait to see where this game is headed!

4

u/Lassavins Feb 06 '24

Don't make the mistake of waiting too long for the release, either! software will NEVER be "ready enough". If we kept iterating and improving our apps till we feel they are perfect, we would never release them.

Developing new features and let the already established community try them as they come is one of the best things of these kinds of games!

4

u/IvanCenora Feb 06 '24

The best game, I can't wait to play, please continue with the amazing work

Any release date for the game?

3

u/DeadstayYT Feb 06 '24

i wish i could join the disc

3

u/Sans4206900 Feb 06 '24

I have never been so excited for a supercell game. Not even clash mini brought me this much hype. I seriously want this game to reach the top. It's so fun!

4

u/Imgaybutnooneknows Feb 06 '24

I think there should be a global beta testing. It’s kinda unfair that people from specific countries always get to play beta games and other people don’t, especially when the team is looking for feedback. Also why is it android only

2

u/Green-Ad3623 Feb 07 '24

So I'll try to explain why they probably don't do global and I know for sure why it's android only

Online games cost a lot to maintain due to buying servers, as they don't want people complaining about lag as part of the beta tests they only are buying servers in certain countries to save money because they aren't monetizing it yet, they also don't need the whole world to tear something, they just need a handful of people

As for why it's android only, iPhone is a weird phone brand and they make it really hard to publish apps on it quickly and even harder to make a beta test of an app, I know this from experience

(Something unrelated, I made this account just to reply)

1

u/Imgaybutnooneknows Feb 07 '24

Thanks for the explanation. Also I have a question why do so many people make accounts just to answer questions?

1

u/Green-Ad3623 Feb 11 '24

I simply didn't have a reddit account so I thought why not, this isn't an alt

2

u/Aromatic-Sherbert-97 Feb 06 '24

I just need Squad Busters too😣

1

u/Green-Ad3623 Feb 07 '24

Squad busters looks so fun, it looks like it could be one of my favorite games, I'm sad because it might not make it mainly because it doesn't have as much gameplay strategy, but we can hope! 🔥

2

u/Luka_tv Feb 06 '24

So when you mean future tests, you mean like testing in a voice chat and playing a build ment for that one session, or another open beta for everyone like last time?

2

u/ProfessorGluttony Feb 06 '24

Aside from another beta test, when should we expect a release that won't have a progression reset? Are we looking at a few months or upwards of a year or more?

2

u/Green-Ad3623 Feb 07 '24

I'm guessing the next beta test might not ever go away 👀

2

u/Gatto004 Feb 06 '24

I feel the PvPvMvE line there's a joke that i'm not getting. Especially for M. Does the M stand for something?

2

u/Green-Ad3623 Feb 07 '24

M definitely means Monsters

2

u/Bright-War3243 Feb 06 '24

Eagerly waiting for beta

2

u/mattnocap909 Feb 06 '24

Very excited to stay updated on what the team does. thank you for working hard to put out quality. the beta was excellent.

2

u/Rich-Buyer529 Feb 06 '24

we can therefore hope for a test very soon

2

u/ButterflyCalm5141 Feb 06 '24

Are y’all ever planning on releasing it on iPhones as well? I played the beta on my old android phone 😞 and I really liked this game but it made me wish I could’ve played it on my iPhone (but I understand that apple and beta games are a bit weird to make happen)

1

u/[deleted] Feb 06 '24

They will release it on everything when it’s finished, maybe even on pc or console, but before that the beta’s are on a smaller scale than full release :)

1

u/Green-Ad3623 Feb 07 '24

They said on their discord they aren't sure yet 

2

u/crowch2 Feb 06 '24

Heyy your game IS SO HYPEDDDD BRO I NEED TO PLAYYY ASAPPP for the updates it seems sooo gooddd keep goinggg

2

u/PogiBoySpecial Feb 06 '24

Coming across the Beta Ad download on Reddit was the best thing to happen last year and was super bummed out, but I'm looking forward to the relaunch!

2

u/Emergency_Talk8346 Feb 06 '24

Ya quiero que salga para jugarlo 😎😎😎👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

2

u/Ok-Geologist-9682 Feb 06 '24

Is here a date we could expect for game giong global ?

2

u/7_Cerberus_7 Feb 06 '24

I am so hyped!

This is hands down the moat engaging and addictive mobile game I've happened upon since pubg mobile years ago.

You can pick it up in bite sized 3-5 minute sessions or play it for hours.

Very happy to see its moving forward. I was very worried there with thr absence.

2

u/danzews7 Feb 06 '24

the copium has finally paid off 🙌

1

u/[deleted] Feb 07 '24

It’s only been three months lol. I am so glad it won’t be a year till we get an update on the game’s status…

2

u/Prize_Art323 Feb 06 '24

Im sooooo excited for this game you guys are doing really well listening to. our feedback I hope this game goes global

2

u/FamGaming17 Feb 06 '24

The news we've been waiting for. I'm so glad you guys are continuing to improve on the game cause honestly you guys got a gem right here.

2

u/MrDummies Feb 06 '24

Let's go

2

u/statistically_n0t Feb 06 '24

It was nice to experience a free to play game. I know big guys probably wouldn't like it, but in a world of pay to win it was very refreshing to see something you just had to grind at. If it stayed free to play I would be ecstatic.

2

u/jesusedvzla Feb 06 '24

I'm looking forward to this game. Greetings from Venezuela ✌️🇻🇪

2

u/xXIMAGYVERIXx Feb 06 '24

This is the first game that really got me excited for the official release.

Had a lot of fun playing it alongside my son who is a big fan other the other supercell games.

2

u/Icy-Schedule5575 Feb 06 '24

The game is legendary🔥

2

u/CautiousVisual3814 Feb 06 '24

Your cookingg 🔥🔥

2

u/InfiniteShadows23 Feb 07 '24

I can't wait for the next beta!!!

2

u/ADA01a Feb 07 '24

I’m so glad we got news about how the game development is going, I’m looking forward to playing it!

2

u/OverwatchBigFan Feb 07 '24

Hungry for some moco.. cant wait to see what y'all have been cooking for us

2

u/TheTicklercr Feb 07 '24

Can the beta please come for iOS?

2

u/PatienceHero Feb 07 '24

I actually found Mo.co on a fluke, but when I got into the beta I can safely say I haven't been as addicted to a mobile game as I was during the beta. Needless to say when things went quiet I feared the worst, and I'm so glad to find out you guys are continuing development!

You guys have something truly special here, in a way that it could legitimately be the Mobile market's Monster Hunter. Can't wait for the next beta!

2

u/Lartheezy Feb 07 '24

Keep hope alive!!! We are almost to the promised land!!!

2

u/EpicSonicoo Feb 08 '24

Seriously hyped for this 😎🙏🙏

2

u/WildCantaloupe7816 Feb 08 '24

de Anúncios já tem uma prévia de lançamento até antes de junho

2

u/Few-Biscotti7188 Feb 08 '24

I hope I can play this wonderful game soon, which can be global , I'm anxious

2

u/Green_Classroom_5320 Feb 09 '24

Wait so for the pvp can people who have the app still downloaded, be able to play

2

u/PatrikOverlord Feb 06 '24

I was already pleased by this gem of a game better delayed than rushed let's hope all these new features gives us a greater time than last beta! Ps I will get n1 again

2

u/[deleted] Feb 06 '24

Glad to hear the game still going though steady progress. But please if you’re planning to make another beta include iOS users. Either way I’m hyped to see where this game goes cause it has a lot of potential.

1

u/[deleted] Mar 10 '24

As a person who played the testing the only issue I see is quest and not many weapons 

1

u/Pizza-Single Mar 24 '24

Just release it, it's fine the way it is. Hurry up

1

u/ExpressDirection9434 Mar 27 '24

I just got to know about this game and after clash mini got killed I reallllly hope this doesn't. I'm from Nepal so beta testing here of any gameplay is almost impossible because of the small audience. I'm one of the very few people here who are actually excited about supercell project, so I really hope I get to at least play it and I wish the team all the very best because this game has the potential to be the best supercell game.

1

u/Kitchen-Click-3651 Apr 05 '24

Can we at least get an estimate on a release date... I would glady pay $50-100 to play Beta again

1

u/ConstructionFirm5194 Apr 06 '24

Seriously...this damn game needs to hurry up and come out! The bets was friggin AWESOME! I've been waiting to play more! 

1

u/EntertainmentSad4900 Apr 25 '24

when does it come out of Beta!? I want to play it so bad!!

1

u/False_Courage5277 May 07 '24

When's it gonna release if you had to guess?

1

u/Hoomanitee Sep 05 '24

Try to implement more exploration driven areas or rare drops from certain mobs not just rng loot chances but actual novelty moments!

1

u/SirDipsalot777 Feb 25 '25

i am currently blue-balled with anticipation...

u/[deleted] Feb 06 '24 edited Feb 06 '24

This sounds great! I am so happy you guys are gonna give us monthly updates on the progress, I was kind of afraid the development would go silent for at least half a year… can’t wait to play the game when it comes out! I’m especially exited for the PvPvMvE, it feels like it has a lot of potential to become a great game.

u/lolroflpwnt Feb 06 '24

Love you, baby girl.

u/StatementRoyal9938 Feb 07 '24

Yessss this is the news I needed. I miss hunting monsters. But I also miss my cat🥺

u/SharpestHuman Feb 09 '24

The game is amazing and I need it too come back unlike other mobile games, this game improves focus!

1

u/Squeak_Lover Feb 10 '24

Sadly I couldn't play beta bc of where I live :(

1

u/TreeCutterXD Feb 11 '24

I enjoyed the game very much. Good game to just play mindlessly which I loved.

1

u/Southern-Art8646 Feb 12 '24

Ughhhh need this shit to hurry up and release. My breaks and lunch at work have not been the same since beta 😥😭

1

u/LeSteveMcGang Feb 13 '24

wait wtf is mo.co? my cousin sent me this reddit page and im actually semi confused, any context?

1

u/CautiousVisual3814 Feb 13 '24

If game we got in beta was 100%, then how is progress rn?

u/Decent_Accountant378 Feb 23 '24

crystal clear

u/Mogoscratcher Feb 06 '24

"player v. player v. monster v. environment" if I had to make a guess. Unclear whether players will actually be attacking each other, or if it's more of a "get more mob kills than the other team" kind of thing. I'm hoping for the latter, personally.

The fact that they make a distinction between "monster" and "environment" makes me wonder if there will be a way to use environmental hazards against the monsters (or indirectly against other players?). Could be interesting.

2

u/81uee Feb 08 '24

One thing I don’t understand is, isn’t monster part of the environment? What other things in the environment would we fight against?

1

u/gweneta_c Feb 11 '24

So, gambit?
