Scopely Explore announced on the 6th that the global event 'Monster Hunter Now Carnival 2026: Global' will kick off on the upcoming 28th. Running for two days from the 28th to the 29th, hunters who purchase a global event ticket can dive into the hunt for the Elder Dragon 'Amatsu' and the Dimensional Variant 'Nargacuga'.

Amatsu, the weather-controlling stormbringer, will spawn three times a day throughout the event. The hunt unfolds in two phases, allowing hunters to utilize the brand-new hunting facility, the 'Rapid-Fire Ballista', to breach the dimensional outer shell and swing the battle in their favour. Once Amatsu raids the exploration base, hunters must step up to intercept the beast directly.

The Dimensional Variant Nargacuga, appearing across the field and in Elder Hunt-a-Thons, threatens hunters with signature blinding speed. To take down this beast, predicting movements and precisely targeting 'special parts' is absolute key. Weapons crafted from Nargacuga materials boast a critical hit rate of up to 40% when upgraded to Grade 10, standing proudly at the peak of weapon performance. By pushing parameters further via style enhancement, hunters can trigger critical hits with high probability to deal massive damage.

Additionally, a limited-edition accessory, the 'Necklace[2026: Global]', will be introduced during the event, boosting attack power by 200. Event-exclusive gear features boost effects and eased upgrade material requirements, ensuring that hunters lacking high-grade equipment can still join the hunt without breaking a sweat. Alongside this, the brand-new 'Stamp Rally' feature lets hunters collect stamps by completing tasks such as slaying Nargacuga, upgrading event weapons, and reporting base explorations, rewarding participants with an event-exclusive group chat stamp upon completing the entire collection.

Hand in hand with the global event, cooldown times for Elder Hunt-a-Thons and Elder Dragon Interceptions will vanish entirely, while the accessible interaction range expands by a factor of 1.5. A flurry of other bonuses will also roll out, including doubled material yields from small monsters and gathering points.

Meanwhile, global event tickets will go on sale starting on the upcoming 16th through the in-app shop and web store. Purchasing a global event ticket via the web store will grant an extra item box expansion as a special bonus.
