Monster Hunter Now Adds Magnamalo, Bowgun, and Cooking on Sept. 11

TouchArcade Rating:

Niantic and Capcom have unveiled the next major content drop for Monster Hunter Now (Free). Season 3, titled "Curse of the Wandering Flames," introduces Magnamalo, the first original monster from Monster Hunter Rise, to the Monster Hunter Now lineup. Joining Magnamalo are two other formidable creatures: Rajang (a personal favorite!) and Aknosom. This update also introduces a new weapon – the Heavy Bowgun – and adds the highly anticipated cooking mechanic. I'm particularly excited to see how Magnamalo and Rajang translate into the Monster Hunter Now experience, having enjoyed hunting them extensively in Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak and Monster Hunter World: Iceborne (in Rajang's case). Below is a look at Magnamalo's artwork for the game:
