Monster Hunter Now 3rd Anniversary Event Kicks Off September 14

Scopely Explore announced on September 11 that it will host a 3rd Anniversary Event for the real-world monster hunting game Monster Hunter Now.

The event will run sequentially starting with a Prologue on September 14 and continuing through October 4. During the Prologue period, the large monster respawn timer will be reduced to 30 minutes, and "Field Anomalies" will occur, causing designated monsters to appear intensively during specific time slots.

Upon a successful hunt, players can use Special Carving Knives up to twice to obtain triple the usual amount of materials. "Hunt-a-thons" and "Elder Dragon Interceptions" will operate 24 hours a day to facilitate global matchmaking.

The main event begins on September 17. All players who log into the game will receive one Grade 10 (Lv1) weapon forged from materials of Fire, Water, Thunder, or Ice element monsters: Rathalos, Mizutsune, Zinogre, or Legiana.

Forging tickets for the "Guardian" set—a recommended armor set for beginners—and a 300-slot Item Box expansion will also be provided. Daily log-in bonuses will award items such as Wyvern Gem Shards and Riftborne materials.

Additionally, a "Rental Sets" feature allowing players to test all 14 weapon types will be introduced for the first time. Material requirements for six key monsters will be reduced, and eight past event-exclusive weapons will return alongside simplified upgrading.

During the event period, the standard field access range will be expanded by 1.5 times. Material acquisition from small monsters and gathering points, as well as basic reward slots for slaying large monsters, will each be doubled.

In addition, a Global Challenge tallying total slays from players worldwide, Secret Quests solved using hints, and 3rd Anniversary Quests offering exclusive layered glasses and a Hunter Medal will also be featured.
