Monster Hunter Now Previews S3: Magnamalo, Heavy Bowgun, Cooking

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 lineup. Joining Magnamalo are two other formidable beasts: the electrifying Rajang (a personal favorite!) and the aerial Aknosom. This update also adds a new Heavy Bowgun weapon and the highly anticipated cooking mechanic. I'm especially eager to see how Magnamalo and Rajang translate to the Monster Hunter Now experience, having enjoyed hunting them extensively in Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak and Monster Hunter World: Iceborne. Behold Magnamalo's striking Monster Hunter Now artwork:
