It's going to be a Lucky Lunar New Year!

Hunters,

The Lunar New Year is upon us! Different regions celebrate the Lunar New Year in different ways, and we’re going to have some decorations and events of our own to celebrate it right here in Monster Hunter Now.

You can look forward to hunting Pink Rathian in the field and at Hunt-a-thon Points, as well as gathering Fortune Lanterns for time-limited event quests. Don’t forget to grab event-exclusive equipment, including a new dragon-element hammer and dual blades, and head armor with Critical Boost!

We wish you all a prosperous Lunar New Year and good fortune on all your hunts!
