Mount up that horse with no name as Monster Hunter Now floods the deserts with Diablos
Niantic is kicking off Monster Hunter Nows’ life in the only way it really could; by unleashing a rampaging hoard of Diablos. This upcoming weekend, you can take part in the game's first event by making your way over to a desert region and hunting down these fearsome herbivorous beasts.
