If you're a Monster Hunter Now fan and have been craving something more challenging, Niantic has exciting news for you. The brand-new Monster Outbreak feature is on the horizon—and it's currently being tested from April 26th to April 27th, promising an intense experience even for veteran hunters.
This limited-time test introduces a fresh gameplay mechanic: a large number of a single monster will spawn in a specific area, creating a high-stakes hunting environment. Unlike regular hunts, Monster Outbreaks require players to team up in groups to take down a set number of enemies. Your goal? Defeat a total of 100 monsters—in this case, none other than the fearsome eight-star Black Diablos.
Participating is straightforward: use the sign-up roster to register your interest and earn an exclusive hunter medal. Once the hunt begins, work with fellow hunters to reach the target and reap valuable rewards in the form of monster parts and in-game loot.
Culling Monsters
The Monster Outbreak event focuses entirely on one monster type, offering a unique twist on traditional gameplay while testing your endurance and teamwork. This extended challenge could become a permanent addition to Monster Hunter Now, depending on player feedback.
Niantic encourages all participants to share their thoughts on the feature via the official community forum or social media channels. Your input can help shape the future of the game.
And if you're planning to jump into the action, make sure you’re not going in unprepared. Check out our regularly updated list of Monster Hunter Now promo codes to grab some extra in-game bonuses before you begin your hunt.
