As someone who’s been hunting monsters for years, both on console and handheld devices, I can confidently say that the latest offering from Capcom, Monster Hunter Now, is a game changer! This mobile version of the beloved franchise brings all the excitement and challenge of classic Monster Hunter games right to your fingertips.

This year’s New Year celebration within the Monster Hunter Now game has commenced, providing an ideal moment for both returning players and newcomers to dive in or experience the game for the first time.
