Monster Hunter Now – Season 7: Advent of the Exploration Base Launches September 18, 2025
Get ready to dive deeper into the world of Monster Hunter Now as Niantic unveils Season 7: Advent of the Exploration Base, officially kicking off on September 18, 2025. This fall-themed season brings a wave of fresh content, including legendary new monsters, the long-anticipated global launch of Exploration Bases, enhanced style customization, and powerful new armor skills.
🌍 Exploration Bases Go Global – The Heart of Co-Op Hunting
After a successful beta, Exploration Bases are now live for all players worldwide! These interactive hubs are tied to real-world landmarks and evolve through player collaboration—just like PokéStops in Pokémon GO.
- Build and upgrade your base to unlock exclusive rewards and boost hunting efficiency.
- Team up with friends and hunters across your region to power up defenses and unlock rare materials.
- Bases will feature dynamic events, seasonal challenges, and rotating monster encounters.
This is more than a base—it’s your command center for the hunt.
🐉 New Monsters Join the Ranks
The season kicks off with three fan-favorite monsters:
- Espinas – The spiky, venomous threat that strikes from the shadows.
- Garangolm – A massive, gravity-defying wyvern with electrifying attacks.
- Lunagaron – A lunar beast that wields ice and storm with terrifying precision.
Then, on September 22nd, prepare for chaos:
- Riftborne Deviljho arrives as a new Riftborne monster, emerging from the rift with amplified fury and new elemental traits.
- Its signature weapons—Riftborne Deviljho Sword and Bow—will also be eligible for style customization, letting you craft a look as deadly as its strikes.
🔧 Style Customization Gets a Massive Upgrade
The customizable weapon system, introduced in Season 6, is getting a major power boost in Season 7:
- Higher stat scaling per level means customized weapons now rival the most powerful gear in the game.
- More perk variety and deeper progression for every weapon type.
- Visual customization remains top-tier—show off your hunter’s flair with new elemental effects and particle designs.
Now, your weapon isn’t just a tool—it’s a signature.
🛡️ New Armor Sets & Six Powerful Skills
New armor sets for Espinas, Garangolm, and Lunagaron unlock a suite of elite skills:
- Pursuit: Deal increased damage after breaking a monster part for the first time.
- Ballistics: Extend arrow critical range—perfect for long-range specialists.
- Reckless: Sacrifice perfect evades for massive damage boosts—brutal, but risky.
- Guard Up: Block attacks that normally can’t be blocked—master defense like never before.
- Vital Fire / Vital Ice: Elemental damage scales with remaining HP—fight smarter, not harder.
These aren’t just stats. They’re game-changers.
🎯 Selectable Monster Groups – Hunt Your Way
For the first time, hunters can customize which monster groups appear in their region. Choose your favorites and shape the world around your playstyle:
- Avoid overpowered foes you’re not ready for.
- Focus on your preferred types—elemental, beast, or rare riftborn.
- Tailor weekly events and spawn patterns to your skill level.
Combined with streamlined weapon progression, where forging and upgrading now require fewer materials, Season 7 makes leveling up faster and more enjoyable than ever.
