Hunters, We’re back with more details about the live event Monster Hunter Now Carnival 2026 Osaka, taking place on Saturday, November 14th and Sunday, November 15th, 2026! In addition to the elder dragon Amatsu, Riftborne Nargacuga will make its debut! Nargacuga is a formidable monster known for its incredible speed. Its special part, which appears under the influence of an abnormal rift, is expected to be particularly difficult to target as Nargacuga darts around the battlefield. Reading its movements and carefully aiming for the special part will be key to bringing it down. Team up with hunters gathered in Osaka and take on the challenge together!
