Monster Hunter Now celebrating an anniversary

Dateline: 3/9/2026

Monster Hunter Now will be celebrating its 2.5 Year Anniversary through March 29th.

From Niantic:

Now through Sunday, March 29, Monster Hunter Now is celebrating its 2.5 year anniversary! To say thank you to the community, the Monster Hunter Now 2.5 Year Anniversary Event will feature benefits for new and returning hunters.

Event features include:

  • Popular Elemental Weapons with Reduced Material Requirements: Materials required to forge and upgrade weapons made from Mizutsune, Deviljho, Legiana, and Magnamalo materials will be significantly reduced. These include water, dragon, ice, and blast element weapons. 

  • Hope Weapons Return with Style Customization: Hope weapons are returning with style customization now available. They’re ideal for trying out different styles, and the materials required to forge and upgrade them will also be reduced during the event. If you haven’t challenged Base Defense yet, we recommend forging a Hope weapon first, then using it to help forge and upgrade featured defense weapons.

  • Plenty of Exclusive 2.5-Year Anniversary Content: Through the 2.5-Year Anniversary Event Exchange Hub and quests, hunters can earn an exclusive hunter medal, Guild Card background, and stickers.
