Monster Hunter Now unveils 'Fulminations in the Frost' update with new weapons, armour and monsters
Monster Hunter Now had every chance to scrape across the bottom of mobile game hype, especially after Pikmin Bloom struggled to make an impression, but it's coasting strong right now.
Learning from the gameplay mistakes of Pokemon GO, the game feels like an authentic Monster Hunter experience even in spite of using a touchscreen for its lightning-fast scraps with monsters, and Niantic has proved that they truly get the series enough to champion it for years to come.
And with their first major content expansion, it looks like there could be a lot of new fans to come.

The update brings 46 new weapons and armour pieces, including 11 new Lances and 10 new Dual Blades, serving as brand-new weapons added to the game.
