Monster Hunter Wilds x Street Fighter 6 Collaboration Goes Live on May 28th

It adds an Akuma armor set, a Blanka-Chan Palico set, new quests, gestures and even a recreation of the Drive Impact system.

Capcom has finally revealed its first collaboration for Monster Hunter Wilds: Street Fighter 6. The star of the show is Akuma, for whom players can unlock an armor set and layered equipment for. Check out the reveal trailer below – it kicks off on May 28th.

The armor isn’t just cosmetic. You can use Akuma’s moves, including the Gou Hadoken and Gou Shoryuken, with the full set. The equipped weapon determines the damage, and if you equip the armor set instead of the layered version, combos and other attacks can inflict Stun. Even the Drive Impact system is somewhat recreated.

Two new quests, “Demonic Strength” and “True Strength,” are available and dole out rewards. You can also access “Ultimate Strength” at Hunter Rank 21. The Palico also gets a Blanka-Chan set and layered equipment, and you can customize your Hunter Profile with a new background, nameplate and pose.

Paid DLC will go live the same day, adding a Chun-Li outfit for the Handler and a Cammy outfit. If that wasn’t enough, a new 8-star Tempered Monster is also being added. Stay tuned for more details, especially with Title Update 2 due this Summer.
