On October 12, Monster Crown goes 1.0 and is also heading to consoles.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The game takes place on Crown Island, which is threatened by a power-hungry young woman looking to assert her dominance. The island has a long history of being ruled by tyrants, and unless you want to live under the thumb of yet another evil lord, you\u2019ll need to stop her before it\u2019s too late. Doing so involves forming pacts with over 200 monsters, which you train to battle other monsters as well as other human tamers. Players can also fuse monsters to breed entirely new species. Want to socialize with friends and other players? Monster Crown also features online battles and trading. For an idea of what&#8217;s in store, take a gander at the original Early Access trailer below.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gameinformer.com\/2021\/08\/05\/pokemon-esque-monster-crown-exits-early-access-and-comes-to-consoles-october-12\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here to watch embedded media<\/a><\/p>\n<p>During your big quest, you can complete sidequests to lend a helping hand to Crown Island\u2019s residents.
