Monster Hunter Now set to celebrate A Happy Hunting New Year for 2026

by

  • Monster Hunter Now is already prepping to celebrate the New Year
  • The A Happy Hunting New Year 2026 event is right around the corner
  • It’ll see a suite of festive goodies, as well as a new global challenge

Even though it’s still early, Niantic is already sharing details about upcoming events in Monster Hunter Now. Get ready for special rewards and a worldwide challenge as part of the ‘A Happy Hunting New Year 2026’ celebration!

The event is divided into two parts, starting December 22nd and lasting until the 29th. During this time, you’ll see a lot more Elder Dragon Interceptions, and you’ll be able to craft special, holiday-themed items like the Twin Wreathes and Wrapping Bow.

From December 29th to January 4th, points earned from Hunt-a-thons and Interceptions will be focused solely on Elder Dragon Interceptions. Plus, you’ll be able to access hunts from a much wider area – 50% larger, in fact – meaning less travel time between them!

The whole world in your hands

The Winter 2025 Exchange Hub will also be opening its doors, allowing you to collect event tokens and exchange them for some seasonal (if somewhat goofy) cosmetics to furnish your character with. That’s alongside the usual suite of rewards and goodies for completing tasks throughout the event (

The Global Challenge is a worldwide event where hunters will work together to defeat monsters. Completing milestones will reward you with items like a ticket to craft the Winter 2025 Bow (used for the Wrapping Bow), a festive Banbaro Christmas Sweater outfit, and many other goodies.
