Surprise Monster Hunter Now update finally adds long awaited feature

Niantic has released a small update for Monster Hunter Now ahead of the Zinogre Hunt-a-thon event, so here’s everything we know about the latest bugfixes and additions.

The Monster Hunter Now v67 update is now live and there are plenty of new additions that have been added to the game. While the new gift system and Item Box Expansions have headlined the v67 update, Niantic has now released a surprise patch.
