Capcom and Niantic announced Monster Hunter Now Season 4 “Roars from the Winterwind” is now live with the tundra habitat, additional monsters like Tigrex, the fan-favorite Switch Axe weapon, and much more.
Tigrex, Lagombi, Volvidon, and Somnacanth arrive with Monster Hunter Now Season 4 today, alongside returning monsters like Barioth and small monsters Wulg and Cortos. Like previous updates, players may hunt Tigrex, Volvidon, and Somnacanth in the field after unlocking them in Season 4 urgent quests. Lagombi and the tundra habitat will appear after clearing the prologue.
The Switch Axe is finally here in Season 4 with two modes: Axe Mode and Sword Mode. Build up the Switch Gauge while in Axe Mode and use it in Sword Mode to land a devastating blow. This weapon is unlocked after completing Chapter 2.
In Season 4, hunters gain access to their own customizable Palico. You can customize your Palico’s fur color, facial features, and name. The Palico that players are already familiar with will continue to act as Qualily’s assistant in the story and guides.
You can also take photos with your Custom Palico using AR photography:
A new Friend Cheering feature is available, allowing friends to cheer each other on to temporarily increase their maximum health for the day. The number of loadouts will be increased, and driftsmelting skills can be linked to specific loadouts. Players can also look forward to new skills, including Critical Ferocity, Shared Shield, and Morph Boost.
Lastly, a new Season Pass is available in Season 4, and the latest Item Box Expansion adds 250 additional slots. You can learn about monsters that will be temporarily leaving in Season 4 in the game’s latest blog post, too.
