It was scheduled to end May 6 at 4:59 p.m. PT. The date appeared as April 23 in regions farther east, including the United Kingdom, because it was already the next calendar day there.
When did Blossomdance start?
Capcom USA’s April 22, 2025 announcement, carried by Xbox Wire, listed the event window as April 22 at 5:00 p.m. PT through May 6 at 4:59 p.m. PT. Capcom noted that the schedule was subject to change.
Why did some calendars show April 23?
The listed time is Pacific Time. Converted to local time, the same start instant fell on April 23 in regions east of the Pacific time zone. Capcom Europe’s official event video description listed Blossomdance as running April 23–May 7 BST. Those dates reflect localization across time zones, not a separate later launch.
Did the 2026 return use the same start time?
Blossomdance returned during the anniversary rotation from February 18 through February 25, 2026, according to PlayStation.Blog’s February 9 schedule. That announcement gave dates but no start time or timezone, so the original 5:00 p.m. PT time should not be treated as confirmed for the rerun.

- Wild New Adventure – Monster Hunter Wilds follows the story of a special Research Commission investigating the Forbidden Lands. Fully voiced for the first time in the series, the hunter is joined in their journey by a colorful cast of characters, including a Palico partner, Guild-appointed Handler Alma, trusty smithy Gemma, and the mysterious child Nata. Together, the team ventures into an unexplored new frontier where surprises await around every corner.
- A Living World – The Forbidden Lands spans multiple biomes with dynamic identities, such as the Windward Plains and Scarlet Forest, where the ecosystems shift between vibrant seasons brimming with life, and unforgiving climates where monsters fight over limited resources. Changes in the landscape will impact the creatures that live there and push hunters to adapt as well.
- New Monsters and Wildlife – Monster Hunter Wilds features a variety of new creatures, ranging from herds of small species to large monsters – some of which roam the Forbidden Lands in packs. Every creature hunters encounter in the wild has carved out a special place in its habitat and possesses unique attacks and behaviors.
- Players can also now ride atop the Seikret, an agile new mount enabling hunters to traverse difficult terrain, perform actions like sharpening weapons on the move, and switch between two weapons while out on hunts!
- Evolved Hunting Action – The series’ acclaimed action-packed gameplay is back and more exciting than ever! Hunters can look forward to tracking down monsters with an array of new moves, special abilities, equipment, and more. The action also now flows seamlessly from cutscenes to gameplay, resulting in a new level of immersion.
Is Blossomdance the current seasonal event?
No. As of October 8, 2026, Capcom’s Japan schedule listed the Dreamspell seasonal event for September 16 through November 4, 2026, Japan time. Blossomdance’s 2025 start time is historical; check the current official event schedule for any future return, since a past start time does not establish when a rerun will begin.
What did players need to access the event?
For the original event, Capcom USA said players needed to update to the latest game version and reach Hunter Rank 16 or higher in the main story to access the Grand Hub. Blossomdance brought spring decorations and music to the hub, special meals, daily login bonuses, limited-time Event Quests, and themed hunter and Palico equipment. Special tickets earned through login bonuses and Event Quests could be used to forge the Sakuratide α hunter armor and Felyne Papier-Mâché α Palico armor.
