TouchArcade Rating: Niantic and Capcom have unveiled the next significant update for Monster Hunter Now (Free). Season 3, titled "Curse of the Wandering Flames," introduces Magnamalo, the first original monster from Monster Hunter Rise to join the Monster Hunter Now lineup. Accompanying Magnamalo are two other formidable creatures: the electrifying Rajang (a personal favorite!), and Aknosom. This update also introduces a new weapon – the Heavy Bowgun – and the highly anticipated addition of cooking mechanics. I'm particularly excited to see how Magnamalo and Rajang perform in Monster Hunter Now, having enjoyed hunting them extensively in Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak and Monster Hunter World: Iceborne (in Rajang's case). Below is Magnamalo's artwork for Monster Hunter Now:

Here's a sneak peek at some of the new gear included in the update:
