The Monster Hunter Now Halloween event will include some spooky-themed equipment.

The first Monster Hunter Now Halloween event will take place on October 25, 2023, until October 31, 2023. While Niantic has been keen to keep the creepy content under wraps, they did announce that the event will include the following: 

  • Halloween-themed field map.
  • Special Halloween-themed equipment.
  • A Kulu-Ya-Ku that looks different

The Monster Hunter Now 61.1 update has given players an early look at the Halloween-themed assets that will be coming to the game, so be sure to check out our hub here. 

As for the special Halloween-themed equipment, we could see the arrival of the Mosgharl Armor set. This adorable equipment would be the perfect accompaniment to any spooky season festivities, thanks to its pumpkin-themed design. 

Could the Kulu-Ya-Ku also wield a pumpkin instead of its trusty rock? Well, we’ll need to find out once the Monster Hunter Now Halloween event goes live later this month. 

So, there you have it, that’s everything we currently know about the Monster Hunter Now Halloween event and event lineup for October. While you wait for the upcoming events, why not check out our Monster Hunter Now page for all the latest news and guides?
