Monster Hunter Now Carnival 2026 to be held in Osaka

Scopely Explore and Capcom have announced the ‘Monster Hunter Now Carnival 2026: Osaka,’ a real-world event for the location-based mobile game ‘Monster Hunter Now.’ The event is scheduled to take place over two days, November 14 and 15, 2026, in the Namba area of Osaka, Japan.

This marks the second occurrence of the carnival, following the 2024 Shibuya event. The organizers aim to create a roaming-style event design that encourages movement through the city while providing rest areas to avoid disrupting local residents. The event will feature special in-game monster appearances and surprises for players.

Partner companies participating in the event include Kinkos Japan, JR Central, Suzuki, Tabio, and Capcom Store. Kinkos Japan will host a booth at the venue. Tickets are priced at 4,000 yen for a single day and 5,000 yen for a two-day pass, with early bird discounts available for a limited period in September.
