Biomes change in Monster Hunter Now every day at 12 AM UTC, influencing which monsters and gathering points spawn in your area. Learn more about when biomes change and the monsters and materials you can find in each biome here.

When Do Biomes Change

12 AM UTC

Biomes serve as the habitat for all the monsters you encounter in Monster Hunter Now. As of writing, there are only three types of biomes: forest, desert, and swamp. These biomes change every day at 12 AM UTC.

So, if you want to change the biome of your current location, you will have to wait for another day for it to change.

Other Areas will Have Different Biomes

Since biomes are not universal, nearby areas will always have a chance to have a different biome. If you want to play in a different biome, simply move to another area to change it. Just remember to stay safe when moving to new areas!

How to Check Biomes

Tap the Biome Icon

To see your current biome, simply check the top left corner of your screen. You can also tap this button to find more information about the current biome.

See the Info of Your Current Biome

Tapping on the biome button will open a window that provides more information about the current biome. Here, you can see all the monsters that spawn and the type of materials you will find more of. You can also check information about the other biomes here as well.
