Kirin Joins Monster Hunter Now for Lunar New Year

Niantic is celebrating the Lunar New Year in Monster Hunter Now with a host of exciting event-exclusive gear for players to hunt down. Starting February, the legendary elder dragon Kirin will make its appearance, bringing with it a wave of exclusive equipment that made a splash last year.

For those gearing up to face the formidable Kirin, there's no need to worry. The event introduces a dragon-element light bowgun, perfectly suited for tackling this challenging beast. And to enhance your chances of success, you can also snag some exclusive Lunar New Year-themed packs. These packs not only offer a boost but also include stylish layered equipment, because celebrating the new year calls for fresh gear, right?

The event in Monster Hunter Now will run until February 2nd, giving you the chance to claim the Lucky Dragon Hammer, Fortune Dragon Fans, and Dragon Dance Mask if you missed them last year. If you're up to the challenge of taking down the Gold Rathian, Pink Rathian, or Banbaro, you can earn Tickets that can be used to acquire the Lucky Light Bowgun, Lucky Dragon Hammer, and Fortune Dragon Fans.
