Monster Hunter Rise welcomes Akuma in a Street Fighter crossover later this week
Epic collaboration lies ahead.
Capcom have announced their next collaboration event in Monster Hunter Rise, with a Street Fighter crossover coming later this week.
As they’ve said in the announcement, all hunters will take on a unique Event Quest starting from tomorrow, August 27. Once you complete it successfully, you will unlock a layered armor that transforms your hunter into Akuma. Not only will you get a new voice and appearance, but you will also get some additional moves based on the baddie’s moveset from Street Fighter. He will even do a special move on the Quest Completed screen.
If you equip your sword and shield, you will be able to attack your foes with powerful punches and kicks. You will also be able to execute a Perfect Rush and unleash his special moves like Zanku Hadoken and Gohadoken.
This is the third time an event like this is hosted since the game’s launch back in March. In July, the game allowed players to earn a skin turning their Palamute into Amaterasu from the 2006 adventure Okami.
Monster Hunter Rise & Street Fighter collaboration will be live in Monster Hunter Rise on Nintendo Switch starting from tomorrow, August 27. You can check out the trailer below:
