Monster Hunter Now will see an in-person event this November in Osaka, Japan, co-developers Capcom and Scopely Explore have announced.

'Carnival 2026: Osaka' will take place over the weekend of Saturday, 14th and Sunday, 15th November between 9am and 6pm local time, and is confirmed to feature new monsters making their debut, as well as "plenty of event-exclusive content".

Further details, including how you can get tickets, will be announced during a 'Now Navi' developer livestream tomorrow (Wednesday, 2nd September).

It will be only the second ever in-person event for Monster Hunter Now since its launch in 2023, and the first in two years.
