Monster Hunter Adds Epic Magnamalo and More in S3, Launch Date Set

TouchArcade Rating:

Niantic and Capcom have unveiled the next major update for Monster Hunter Now (Free). Season 3, titled "Curse of the Wandering Flames," introduces Magnamalo, the first original monster from Monster Hunter Rise, to the Monster Hunter Now roster. Joining Magnamalo are two other formidable foes: the electrifying Rajang (a personal favorite!) and Aknosom. This update also adds a new weapon – the Heavy Bowgun – and the highly anticipated cooking feature. I'm particularly eager to experience Magnamalo and Rajang in this mobile iteration, having enjoyed hunting them extensively in Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak and Monster Hunter World: Iceborne. See Magnamalo's Monster Hunter Now artwork below:

Here's a sneak peek at some of the new gear:
