• Monster Hunter Season 4, Roar of the Winterwind, is out now.
• New habitats, monsters, weapons and more are being added!
• And to boot, Palicos is added with full customization.

The latest season of Monster Hunter Now, Roar of the Winterwind, is out now. Among other things, it brings new habitats, monsters and weapons. If you’re about to leave your warm, cozy home and head out into the cold mid-December desert anywhere, be sure to take MH Now with you.

And yes, this time they are all seasonal additions. The new habitat, Tundra, is an icy region filled with unknown monsters. Tigrex, Lagombi, Volvidon and Somnakant make their debut this season both in the tundra and beyond. Want to support your friends? Use the new Cheer on Friends feature to temporarily improve their health.

Meanwhile, if you’re looking for new ways to fight monsters, there’s the addition of Switch Ax. This unusual weapon allows you to switch between ax mode for greater range and sword mode for more damage. But that’s not the biggest addition, as Palicos appear in Monster Hunter Now!

Yes, Palicos, these adorable furry companions are now fully available in Monster Hunter Now. You can personalize your buddy by choosing facial features, fur, voice and, of course, ears. Considering how beloved palicos are (basically an unofficial mascot and all), I have no doubt that many of you are especially excited about the opportunity to grab your very own cat-gnome item.
