Rise and Hunt: Magnamalo Joins 'Monster Hunter NOW' for Thrilling Season 3

TouchArcade Rating: Niantic and Capcom have unveiled the next major content drop for Monster Hunter Now (Free). Season 3, titled "Curse of the Wandering Flames," introduces Magnamalo, the first original monster from Monster Hunter Rise to join the mobile game's huntable roster. Magnamalo isn't alone; Rajang (a personal favorite!) and Aknosom also make their appearance. This update also adds a new weapon – the Heavy Bowgun – and the highly anticipated cooking feature. I'm particularly excited to see how Magnamalo and Rajang play, having enjoyed hunting them extensively in Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak and Monster Hunter World: Iceborne (in Rajang's case). Behold Magnamalo's Monster Hunter Now artwork:
