Hunters, Thank you for playing Monster Hunter Now! We truly appreciate the feedback, requests, and thoughts you share with us through inquiries, the community forum, and social media. With this round of skill and balance adjustments, our main goal was to fine-tune weapon balance and address issues that each weapon type faced. We have also incorporated some of the feedback regarding controls and usability that we received through social media and in the community forum. Note: Skill adjustments were implemented ahead of the Season 5 release. You’ll find details on the major adjustments below. As we’ve mentioned before, our goal as a development team is to ensure that every hunter can fully enjoy the unique strengths of their chosen weapon, while also feeling inspired to try out different weapon types from time to time. If you haven’t used certain weapons before, we hope this update gives you a reason to give them a try!

In addition to the return of exclusive equipment from the 2024 event, a dragon-element light bowgun will also make its debut.

What’s more, exclusive Lunar New Year-themed packs including layered equipment will be available for purchase. Dress in auspicious outfits and join the New Year hunt in style!

Hunters, Monster alert! Signs of heightened activity have been observed among Azure Rathalos, Rathalos, Aknosom, Basarios, and Anjanath, as well as a smaller increase in Silver Rathalos. Now is the perfect time to focus on upgrading your fire-element weapons so we’ve prepared some quests to help you take down these monsters.

Hunters, We’re excited to announce the arrival of an additional weapon type: the Switch Axe! The Switch Axe lets you switch skillfully between two modes: the long-reaching Axe Mode and the fast-attacking Sword Mode. Switching from Axe to Sword requires building up the Switch Gauge. While in Axe Mode, the gauge fills over time, with successful hits, or by performing a Morph Slash. While in Sword Mode, the Switch Gauge is depleted, and once depleted, the weapon will automatically return to Axe Mode. Sword Mode also grants additional effects and follow-up attacks based on the type of phial equipped. Activate Zero Sum Discharge (SP) to sink your Sword Mode Switch Axe into the monster, before discharging all of your phial’s energy. To help you master the Switch Axe, we’ve prepared some special limited-time quests. Take advantage of this weapon’s versatility to gain an edge in your hunts!

And that’s not all—an additional weapon type and Palico-related features are also on the way! As winter’s chill sets in, get ready for updates that will keep your hunts blazing hot. Let’s brave the cold and keep hunting this winter!
