Get ready for an exciting new chapter in *Monster Hunter Now* with the launch of Season 5: The Blossoming Blade, scheduled to kick off on March 6th, 2025. Niantic has shared all the juicy details about what's coming up in this thrilling season, including new challenges, weapons, a Season Pass, and an array of fearsome monsters.
Getting Ready for Monster Hunter Now Season 5
Before the official start of Season 5, a special surprise awaits with the arrival of Chatacabra on February 28th. This monster makes its grand debut ahead of its first-ever appearance in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. Once the season begins, you'll encounter Glavenus and Arzuros as well, adding more variety to your hunting adventures.
Weapons are in for some exciting balance tweaks, making every weapon type more viable and enjoyable. The Sword & Shield is set for a buff that enhances its ability to target breakable parts, such as tails. Additionally, the Perfect Rush Combo (SP) will now reward well-timed taps with enhanced performance, leading to more satisfying combos. The Guard skill is also getting a significant upgrade. Previously, leveling up Guard had minimal impact, but now, higher skill levels will effectively reduce the damage taken when blocking. More detailed tweaks will be unveiled in the full patch notes on March 6th.
And There Is More!
For those struggling with inventory management, *Monster Hunter Now* Season 5 brings fantastic news. An Item Box Expansion will be available as a Supply Item, providing an additional 250 slots to help you keep your gear organized.
Celebrating its 1.5-Year Anniversary on March 17th, *Monster Hunter Now* is introducing a new feature that allows you to trade special materials earned from hunts and events for incredible rewards. Expect to see items like Item Box Expansions, Weapon Refining Parts, Armor Refining Parts, and Wyvern Gem Shards available for trade.
So, gear up for the new season by downloading the game from the Google Play Store and prepare for an unforgettable adventure.
