Monster Hunter Now Adds Magnamalo, Heavy Bowgun in Season 3

by Carter Feb 02,2025

TouchArcade Rating: Niantic and Capcom have unveiled the next significant 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 join the Monster Hunter Now lineup. Accompanying Magnamalo are two other formidable foes: Rajang (a personal favorite!) and Aknosom. This update also introduces a new weapon, the Heavy Bowgun, and the highly anticipated cooking mechanic. I'm particularly eager to experience Magnamalo and Rajang in Monster Hunter Now, having enjoyed hunting them extensively in Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak and Monster Hunter World: Iceborne (for Rajang). See Magnamalo's Monster Hunter Now artwork below:
