Hunters, A brand-new season begins! During this event, the appearance rates of the monsters joining Season 8, Astalos, Goss Harag, and Quematrice, as well as the newly added Riftborne Khezu, will be boosted!

First up is Riftcharged Rathian, arriving in January, so let’s prepare! Weapons forged from Astalos and Khezu materials, both of which appear more frequently in this event, are designated featured defense weapons, granting a bonus when used against riftcharged monsters.
