Niantic and Capcom just revealed a new event in Monster Hunter Now (Free) on iOS and Android to bring in 2024. If you’ve not played the game in a while, they recently added Hunt-a-thons which are raid-like experiences balanced for multiplayer, but playable solo. This was around the time Radobaan, Banbaro, Barioth, and Zinogre were added to the game in the first major title update. The Monster Hunter Now Happy Hunting New Year event sees a boosted appearance rate for Zinogre hunt-a-thons and the return of Pink Rathian and Black Diablos. Pink Rathian will be coming back from December 23rd at 9 AM until December 31st at midnight while Black Diablos will be returning from January 1st 2024 at 00:00 until January 8th 2024 at midnight.

Zinogre’s hunt-a-thons will see boosted appearances throughout. The highlight of the event for me is more monsters appearing in shorter intervals between 1 PM and 6 PM from December 23rd until January 8th. There will also be some new in-game bundles available to buy. Details are here.

If you are planning to start playing the game, I put together some (newly updated) tips and tricks for the game, details on the weapons, special skills, the current monsters list, my wishlist for future update monsters, and more. You can grab Monster Hunter Now on the App Store for iOS here and on Google Play for Android here. The in app purchases include different sets of gems and upgrades.
