The final event for October in Monster Hunter Now will occur during the last week of the month, starting on Wednesday, October 25, and concluding on Tuesday, October 31, 2023. Niantic has yet to announce all the details about this Halloween-themed event.
However, hunters can roam around Halloween-themed field maps and use Halloween-themed equipment. Additionally, Kulu-Ya-Ku will have a different appearance during the event period. Presumably, the bird wyvern could be using a Pumpkin instead of a boulder to attack.
