As a dedicated fan of the Monster Hunter franchise who’s been slaying beasts since the days of the original game on Nintendo DS, I can’t help but feel my heart race with anticipation as I write about this year’s Happy Hunting New Year event in Monster Hunter Now!

Starting December 23, 2024, the much-anticipated New Year celebration for “Monster Hunter Now” is all set to commence, named “Happy Hunting New Year”. This annual event will offer a variety of fresh in-game content, including seldom-seen monsters and unique prizes.

Launched in September 2023, “Monster Hunter Now” is an engaging augmented reality game created by Niantic and Capcom, available for both iOS and Android users. Much like Niantic’s previous AR game, “Pokemon GO”, “Monster Hunter Now” requires players to traverse the real world to complete various in-game missions, which can include gathering resources for weapons or employing them against fierce monsters during combat. The upcoming New Year event will introduce a series of time-limited content over the coming weeks, offering even more exciting activities for players.

Players of Monster Hunter Now can look forward to joining the Happy Hunting New Year event starting December 23 at 9 AM local time. This themed event is divided into two parts: The Final Hunt 2024 (December 23 – December 31) and the First Hunt 2025 (January 1 – January 5, 2025). In the first half of the event, Gold Rathian will inhabit desert and swamp areas, while Silver Rathalos roams through forest and swamp territories. Moreover, rare species like Azure Rathalos, Black Diablos, Coral Pukei-Pukei, Pink Rathian, and Nightshade Paolumu will spawn more frequently in their specific habitats. During the First Hunt 2025, players can expect an increase in Deviljho, Mizutsune, Rajang, and Zinogre encounters, with each monster appearing in abundance in its suitable environment. This unique event follows close on the heels of Monster Hunter Now’s fourth season, Roars from the Winterwind, which launched on December 12.

Furthermore, during the Final Hunt 2024 event, Monster Hunter Now players will have an opportunity to finish temporary missions to obtain special rewards, like a Happy Hunting New Year 2025 Medal, a Final Hunt 2024 guild card backdrop, a Lagombi Christmas Sweater layered outfit, and other items. In the second phase, the First Hunt 2025 guild card backdrop will be among the numerous rewards within the game. During the Happy Hunting New Year event, several limited-time offers will be accessible on the in-game Web Store. Notably, the New Year 2025 Pack – which includes five Potions, one Paintball, two Ultra Hunting Tickets, and a Special Carving Knife – will also be for sale.

In the future, fans of Monster Hunter have a lot to look forward to, as there are two major releases on various platforms approaching. For players on PC and consoles, Monster Hunter Wilds is scheduled for release in February 2025, generating quite a buzz. Later, mobile gamers can anticipate the arrival of Monster Hunter Outlanders, which was unveiled in November 2024.
