The popular AR title Monster Hunter Now welcomes spring with its annual festival update, running from April 14th to April 27th. Players can expect exciting new content including special gear and the debut of a particularly ferocious monster.
Making its first appearance is Ebony Odogaron - far more than just a palette swap, this aggressive variant surpasses its standard counterpart in difficulty. Identifiable by the ominous black smoke billowing from its jaws, Ebony Odogaron roams multiple biomes including forests, deserts, swamps, and tundra regions.
With heightened aggression and expanded territory, this monster promises challenging encounters. Throughout the Spring Festival 2025 event, hunters will also encounter Kulu-Ya-Ku and other familiar beasts as part of special quests.
Festival participants can collect Spring Eggs and Rainbow Eggs by defeating monsters or participating in Hunt-a-thons. These valuable eggs can be exchanged for premium rewards at the Event Exchange Hub.
Starting April 18th, hunters will find Giant Egg Toys appearing in Hunt-a-thons. These special targets yield substantial quantities of exchangeable eggs when destroyed.
Limited-time quests running throughout the event offer exclusive rewards including:
The festival also introduces spring-themed equipment packs for dedicated hunters. Players can join the celebration by updating Monster Hunter Now through the Google Play Store.
