The Spring Blossom Festival for Monster Hunter World is just around the corner! And with it, Capcom is sure to bring some exclusive events and items (while bringing back some old favorites) to celebrate this momentous occasion.
For those curious, here’s the schedule for the upcoming festivities:
- Start: April 5th 5pm PT / April 6th 12am GMT
- Ends: April 19th 5pm PT / April 20th 12am GMT
Gathering Hub
The first big thing you’ll notice is that the Gathering Hub will be livened and flowered up in a spring theme full of colors and decorations. The receptionists in the gathering hall will also have their own brand-new set of costumes for the event.
Our lovely handler never looked this cute, right?
Adding to this, there’s also a Special meal at the Canteen in the gathering hall which provides increased rates for skills. Also, 2 Lucky Tickets (instead of the usual 1) will be given to players when they redeem their log in bonus during the time of the festival.
New event-related armor and gestures
In tune with the festival, the game will provide new armor sets for players and their palicos that can make during this event when you get the “Flowering Ticket” voucher. There will also be a free gesture for everyone to get, while the others you will have to purchase via Xbox Live or the PlayStation Network.
