Kirin Joins Monster Hunter Now for Lunar New Year

Celebrate the Lunar New Year in style with Monster Hunter Now, as Niantic rolls out a festive event packed with exclusive gear and legendary encounters. Starting in February, hunters can face off against the legendary elder dragon Kirin and grab a chance to acquire gear that made a splash last year in 2024.

To prepare for the challenge, arm yourself with the new dragon-element light bowgun, perfect for tackling the mighty Kirin. But that's not all—enhance your arsenal with the Lunar New Year-themed packs, which include layered equipment that lets you ring in the new year with some fresh swag.

The event, running until February 2nd, offers a golden window to claim the Lucky Dragon Hammer, Fortune Dragon Fans, and the Dragon Dance Mask. Missed out last year? Now's your chance to shine! Take on formidable foes like Gold Rathian, Pink Rathian, or Banbaro to earn Tickets, which you can exchange for the Lucky Light Bowgun, Lucky Dragon Hammer, and Fortune Dragon Fans.
