"Monster Hunter Now Unveils New Outbreak Feature"

Jun 12,2025 Author: Emily

If you're a Monster Hunter Now enthusiast who's been craving a fresh challenge, Niantic has some thrilling news for you. Introducing the Monster Outbreak feature—a brand-new gameplay mechanic currently in testing from April 26th to April 27th, designed to test your hunting skills like never before.

For this limited-time test, players will have the opportunity to experience the chaos of a full-scale monster invasion. Picture this: a massive swarm of a single monster type appears within a specific area, creating an intense and coordinated hunt. But here’s the catch—you won’t be going solo. This event is strictly for teams, so rally your fellow hunters and prepare for an all-out battle.

The mission is straightforward yet demanding: slay enough monsters to reach the target count of 100 kills. Before the action kicks off, you can use the sign-up roster to register your participation and earn a special exclusive hunter medal as a commemorative reward. Successfully completing the outbreak also nets you a wide array of valuable monster parts—perfect for crafting and upgrading your gear.

Kicking off the series of outbreaks is none other than the formidable eight-star Black Diablos—a beast known for its electrifying speed and aggressive behavior. And yes, during this event, you’ll face off against only this one monster throughout the entire operation. Talk about intensity!

This new mechanic not only shakes up the regular gameplay loop but also introduces a prolonged challenge ideal for veteran hunters looking for something more demanding. It's a chance to prove your skill, coordination, and endurance under pressure.

As always, your feedback matters. Niantic is actively seeking player opinions on the Monster Outbreak feature, so make sure to share your thoughts via the official community forums or on social media. Your insights could help shape the future of the game.

Before diving into the fray, make sure you’re fully equipped. Don’t miss out on our regularly updated list of Monster Hunter Now promo codes to grab some extra in-game perks before the battle begins.

So, are you ready to answer the call? The Monster Outbreak awaits.
