TouchArcade Rating: Niantic and Capcom have unveiled the next significant update for Monster Hunter Now (Free). Season 3, titled "Curse of the Wandering Flames," introduces Magnamalo, the first original monster from Monster Hunter Rise, to the Monster Hunter Now lineup.

This update also introduces a new weapon, the Heavy Bowgun, and the highly anticipated addition of cooking mechanics. I'm particularly excited to see how Magnamalo and Rajang translate into the Monster Hunter Now gameplay, having enjoyed hunting them extensively in Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak and Monster Hunter World: Iceborne.

Here's a glimpse at some of the new gear included in the update:

For newcomers or returning players, I've compiled a comprehensive guide featuring tips and tricks, weapon details, special skills, a current monster roster, and my wishlist for future monster additions.
