Monster Hunter Now Is Dropping Season Six ‘Scarlet Gaze in the Gloam’ Soon

Niantic has officially revealed the first details for Season Six of *Monster Hunter Now*, titled Scarlet Gaze in the Gloam. This exciting new season is set to launch on **June 19, 2025**, and promises a host of fresh content including powerful new weapons, enhanced skills, and challenging encounters that will test even the most seasoned hunters.

New Riftborne Monsters Are Here!

One of the major highlights of Season Six is the introduction of Riftborne monsters—terrifying creatures mutated by mysterious environmental rifts. These beasts bring an entirely new level of danger and excitement to the hunt.

At the start of the season, players can expect to face formidable foes such as Rathian, Tobi-Kadachi, and Barroth, now evolved into their Riftborne forms. These enemies will appear at **8-star difficulty and beyond**, offering intense battles and rewarding hunts for those brave enough to take them on.

Introducing the Hunting Horn

A brand-new weapon type, the Hunting Horn, arrives with Season Six. This versatile instrument blends both offensive power and vital support capabilities, making it a valuable asset in any team-based encounter.

The Hunting Horn operates using a unique note system. As you attack, you’ll gather musical notes. By playing these notes in the correct sequence, you can activate powerful melody effects that boost your stats and aid your allies. Effects include:

• Increased attack and defense
• Accelerated Special Gauge buildup
• Extended duration of active buffs

One standout ability, Magnificent Trio (SP), allows you to reset the duration of any active melody, keeping your team buffed for longer during extended fights.

What Else Is in Store for Monster Hunter Now Season Six?

In addition to new monsters and weapons, Season Six introduces a significant gameplay enhancement: style customisation. This feature allows for deeper personalization of your combat experience, particularly for weapons of grade 8 or higher. With this system, you can tailor your playstyle through stat-boosting upgrades and refined mechanics.

Each weapon will gain access to two new styles, each altering long-press actions and combo sequences. Whether you prefer aggressive offense or strategic support, there’s a style setup that fits your approach.

Season Five Retrospective & Final Encounters

As Season Five comes to a close, hunters have had the chance to battle fierce creatures like Glavenus. In the final stretch, players can still encounter other high-tier monsters including Nargacuga, Beotodus, Bishaten, and Great Wroggi, along with returning favorites like Jyuratodus, Anjanath, and Barioth.
