From Niantic:
The new season marks the first time Astalos, Quematrice and Goss Harag make their appearance in Monster Hunter Now, alongside Riftborne Khezu.
In addition, new Base Defense events begin at exploration bases. Players can team up with fellow hunters in their area to take on powerful riftcharged monsters together.
Highlights for this upcoming season include:
-
Additional Monsters: Astalos, Quematrice, Goss Harag and Riftborne Khezu make their Monster Hunter Now debut.
-
Riftborne Khezu: Khezu arrives as a new riftborne monster! With this, it will now be possible to customize the style of Khezu weapons. The dual blades Khezu Daggers and Khezu Skards will be added. For a limited time, you’ll need fewer materials to forge and upgrade Khezu weapons.
-
Six New Skills to Master: This season, six new skills can be added to the armor of Astalos, Quematrice and Goss Harag. Make sure to utilize these new skills in your hunts!
-
The new skills include Perfectionist, Spare Shot, Normal/Element Ammo Boost, Morph Attack Boost, Advanced Ice Attack and Advanced Thunder Attack.
-
Base Defense: Starting in Season 8, the final week of each Wave at exploration bases will culminate in a Base Defense event, where you and nearby hunters will face off against powerful riftcharged monsters.
-
These monsters have been heavily influenced by abnormal rifts and cannot be slain in a single hunt! You’ll need to team up with other hunters in your area and challenge them multiple times.
