Monster Hunter Now's Season 5: The Blossoming Blade is almost here! Niantic has unveiled all the exciting details for the upcoming season, launching March 6th, 2025. Expect new challenges, weapons, a Season Pass, and thrilling monster encounters.
Pre-Season Action & New Monsters
Even before Season 5 begins, players can look forward to the arrival of the Chatacabra on February 28th, making its debut before its appearance in Monster Hunter Wilds. Once Season 5 officially launches, Glavenus and Arzuros will join the hunt.
Weapon Enhancements & Balance Tweaks
Prepare for significant weapon adjustments designed to enhance gameplay and viability across all weapon types. The Sword & Shield receives a buff, simplifying the targeting of breakable parts like tails. The Perfect Rush Combo (SP) will now reward precise timing with amplified power and more satisfying combos.
The Guard skill also receives a much-needed upgrade. Previously negligible, higher Guard skill levels will now noticeably reduce damage taken while blocking. Further balance tweaks will be detailed in the full patch notes on March 6th.
Inventory Relief & New Trading System
Season 5 addresses a common player concern: overflowing inventories! An Item Box Expansion will be available as a Supply Item, providing an additional 250 inventory slots.
A brand-new feature arrives on March 17th, celebrating Monster Hunter Now's 1.5-Year Anniversary. This feature allows trading of special materials earned from hunts and events for valuable rewards, including Item Box Expansions, Weapon Refining Parts, Armor Refining Parts, and Wyvern Gem Shards.
