From April 6th until the 20th, Monster Hunter World players will be able to celebrate the Spring Blossom Event while earning new gear! Like most in-game events, especially within this particular genre, the social hub seen over at Astera will be completely decked out in commemorative decorations to make everything feel even more festive.

Not only will the event look pretty, but all previous quests that have left the game will be making their return as well for a limited time. And yes, this absolutely includes getting that epic Horizon Zero Dawn and Street Fighter loot!

New armors sets will be available to craft, new exclusive materials to gather. Even the Palicoes get a little special attention with a new look seen below:

Players will also get log-in boosts for hopping in-game during the festival's events, so it's definitely something that you are going to want to check even if you're just a casual player!

For those at a 50 Hunter Rank or higher, there is also a new nine-star event available to hunt Deviljho in the Ancient Forest, while the Mega Man quest comes available for those ranked 13 or higher to hunt Odagarons in the arena. It's an amazing time to suit up, upgrade that gear, and enjoy some amazing game time!

In addition to the new event, there are some major changes coming to both Xbox One and PS4:

Major Changes

  • In Update Ver. 2.00, a balance update was done to the bow's Dragon Piercer attack to fix a bug where you could shoot past the attack's angle limitations. However due to this update, when the target is lined up with the reticle at a very fast speed and the Dragon Piercer fires, it was discovered that the player may not be able to face in the direction of the reticle. This has been fixed so that even if the player is aiming at a target quickly in a direction they are not facing, the reticle will still be able to aim in that direction.
    Please note that during Dragon Piercer, if the reticle is aimed at an area outside of the allowed range, the attack will fire in the direction the player is facing.

When selecting loadouts during Arena Quests, a bug occurred where the item window order would change. However, this has now been retooled as part of the game design.

Details:

  • From the default cursor position, the item pouch order when checking equipment info will be from left to right.
  • Next, the fixed items will appear in the following order, left to right: Whetstone, Capture Net, Fishing Rod, and BBQ Spit.
  • The last items will be the specialized tools, listed from left to right.

Other minor bugs were fixed. This update is set to go live in the first week of April.
