Kirin Joins Monster Hunter Now for Lunar New Year

Get ready to celebrate the Lunar New Year in style with Monster Hunter Now, where Niantic is rolling out the red carpet for some festive fun. From February 1st, you'll have the chance to hunt down the legendary elder dragon Kirin and snag some exclusive gear that made waves last year. If you're looking to tackle this fearsome beast, don't worry—the dragon-element light bowgun is here to boost your arsenal and make your hunt a bit easier.

To add to the excitement, you can enhance your chances of success with the Lunar New Year-themed packs. These packs aren't just about boosting your stats; they also include layered equipment for sale, so you can deck out your hunter in some fresh new swag. The event, running until February 2nd, offers a golden opportunity to grab the Lucky Dragon Hammer, Fortune Dragon Fans, and the Dragon Dance Mask—perfect if you missed out last year.

For those brave enough to take on Gold Rathian, Pink Rathian, or Banbaro, there's more good news: you can earn Tickets to unlock the Lucky Light Bowgun, Lucky Dragon Hammer, and Fortune Dragon Fans. Make sure to check out the official update announcement for all the details on these limited-time quests.
