Get ready for an exciting new adventure in Monster Hunter Now! Season 5, titled The Blossoming Blade, has just begun, bringing a whole bunch of new features, monsters, and gameplay improvements that will thrill both new and experienced players. Let’s explore what’s in store for us.
Welcome to Season 5
Season 5: The Blossoming Blade kicked off on March 6, 2025, marking an important milestone for Monster Hunter Now[3]. This season brings new challenges, monsters, and game improvements, ensuring a fresh and fun experience for everyone.
Meet the New Monsters and Quests
Chatacabra, Glavenus, and Arzuros
Before Season 5 started, Chatacabra made its debut in Monster Hunter Now on February 28th, joining the Monster Hunter Wilds series[3]. Now, with the new season, Glavenus and Arzuros are here too, offering new hunting adventures[1][3]! Glavenus, with its fire powers, will appear in limited numbers on the field and in special hunts, while Arzuros is easier to find and can be unlocked in the Monster Tracker after completing certain quests[2].
Monster Unlock Quests
Season 5 introduces monster unlock quests, which let you bring back monsters from past seasons. By completing these quests, you can make sure these monsters appear on the field and become available in the Monster Tracker, with some exceptions[1][2]. You can unlock monsters like Radobaan, Pink Rathian, and Deviljho, among others[1].
Gameplay Gets Better
Balance Adjustments and New Skills
The update includes important changes to make the gameplay more enjoyable. The Sword & Shield weapon is now easier to use to target breakable parts like tails. The Perfect Rush Combo (SP) now rewards precise timing with better performance, encouraging a more active playstyle[2][3]. Also, the Guard skill now provides greater damage reduction as your skill level increases[3].
Two new skills have been added: Shared Sword, which boosts your attack power during group hunts, and Raw Power, which increases your attack power but reduces weapon affinity[1][2].
New Features and Items
Event Exchange Hub and Item Box Expansion
A new Event Exchange Hub will open on March 17th, where you can trade materials for rewards during special events[1]. Plus, you can expand your item storage by 250 slots with the Item Box Expansion, available as a Supply Item[2][3].
Season 5 Pass and Repost Campaign
Season 5 also brings a new Season Pass, unique to this season. While you can’t raise your Season 4 tier anymore, you can still claim rewards for a limited time[3]. To celebrate the launch, there’s a repost campaign on X that offers exclusive materials for equipment upgrades if the post reaches 5,000 reposts[1].
Conclusion: A New Era for Monster Hunter Now
A Blossoming Experience
Season 5: The Blossoming Blade brings a big evolution to Monster Hunter Now, offering a rich and dynamic experience with new monsters, quests, and gameplay improvements. Whether you’re a seasoned hunter or just starting out, this update promises exciting challenges and opportunities for growth. As the season goes on, players can look forward to more features and events that will keep the game fresh and engaging.
