Take a picture with the big monster with the AR function!
From December 23, 2023 (Sat.) to January 8, 2024 (Tue.), there will be a New Year's Eve event called "Yukunen Kariunen Winter Festival". Rio Reia subspecies", "Diablos subspecies", and "Jin'oga" will appear in forest and desert areas.
The photo shows the "Rio Reia subspecies" that appeared in the forest area. In the actual game, you have to be prepared to die to get close to it, but since it is in AR, you can stand next to it and take a picture. Standing next to the "Rioreia subspecies" gives you a new sense of its size.
The monsters appear in everyday scenes and can be photographed in a variety of poses. With such a large size, you may worry about destroying the city, but since it is on AR, there is no problem! The way you celebrate the New Year is up to you, whether you were not on Earth or went on a New Year's visit, but you can also be with your monster.
To activate the AR function, tap on a large monster in the game field, then tap "AR" in the upper left corner of the hunting preparation screen!
