Unleash Akuma: Monster Hunter Wilds Meets Street Fighter 6 in Epic Crossover!

For the first time ever, Monster Hunter Wilds is teaming up with Street Fighter 6 for a special collaboration event! You’ll find an array of new fighting game-themed cosmetics, such as an armor set inspired by a formidable warrior. This exciting crossover between two of Capcom’s latest hit titles is not surprising, and it offers plenty to discover. From a distinctive layered armor moveset, intricate gestures, and even a new quest, this collaboration delivers authentic street fighting to your hunts.

The new cross-over for “Monster Hunter Wilds” bears resemblance to a past partnership with “Street Fighter”, as seen in both “Monster Hunter Rise” and “World”. In these events, you can typically earn cosmetic items that mirror characters and moves from the Street Fighter series. These items often revolve around a particular fighter. For example, in “Monster Hunter World”, Ryu and Sakura were featured, while Akuma was highlighted in “Rise”.

When Monster Hunter Wilds X Street Fighter 6 Releases

Know When Extra Content Will Be Added

As a die-hard movie fan, I’m thrilled to share that the epic mashup between Street Fighter 6 and Monster Hunter Wilds is officially launching on May 28, 2025! And here’s the best part: this collaboration has no end date in sight, meaning players like us can enjoy it for as long as we want. Imagine the possibilities of endless opportunities to grab or buy items exclusive to this crossover event. It reminds me of Capcom’s past collaborations, such as the Dante armor set and unique weapon that gamers can still earn in Monster Hunter World even today.

Today, we’re also preparing to introduce an extra 8-star Tempered Monster into the game, expanding the potential for new equipment. At present, it’s not certain if this monster is linked to the collaboration and its related gear, but it appears to be a strong possibility. Other updates and changes to the game will roll out on May 28, 2025, which may necessitate updating your version of Wilds to accommodate adjustments in gameplay mechanics.

Akuma Returns As Another Layered Armor Set

Unleash The Raging Demon Against Different Monsters

In the same manner as in “Monster Hunter Rise”, Akuma makes a special appearance by providing a unique armor set for your character. This allows you to embody the master of the Satsui No Hado. The ruthless energy of Akuma can be harnessed against the fierce creatures found in The Forbidden Land, utilizing various mechanics similar to those seen in “Street Fighter 6”. Players can deploy Drive Impacts, Gou Hadoukens, Gou Shoryukens, and other abilities to attack the monsters they are pursuing.

To obtain the latest Akuma armor set, you can participate in a new side mission called “Ultimate Strength”, which is included in the collaboration update. In this special quest, you will locate Akuma and learn his fighting techniques, refined by the roaming warrior. Remember to reach Hunter Rank 21 or higher to initiate the quest connected to Akuma’s armor, so be sure to progress through enough of the game’s main story to achieve that level.

As a die-hard film fanatic, I’d guide you through the process of embarking on the intriguing Akuma side quest. Once you fulfill the necessary prerequisites, head over to Quinn – the Vespae Unit Handler – nestled within the Oilwell Basin Base Camp. This encounter kicks off your adventure with Akuma!

In addition to the Ultimate Strength mission, don’t forget to partake in the collaborative arena quests scattered throughout Monster Hunter Wilds. Completing these will not only enhance your experience but also yield enticing rewards that are connected to Akuma’s grand entrance.

  • Demonic Strength
  • True Strength

With the Akuma armor set on your character, a series of actions tied to the moves from Street Fighter become available to you. These Akuma actions can be chosen from the Item Bar for use, allowing you to execute powerful combo attacks that inflict damage on monsters. Utilize these deadly martial arts strikes and special moves in battle! The power of each move depends on the weapon equipped; some weapons deliver more impact than others.

Wearing a complete set of Akuma’s gear enhances your attack power significantly and bestows you with special abilities. Specifically, when you don the full Akuma set, your Assisted Combos acquire stun capabilities, while the Drive Impact move gets an Offset that can counter incoming monster attacks. However, those who wear only the layered Akuma set won’t benefit from these extra effects derived from their other armor skills.

Every Revealed Cosmetic From The Street Fighter 6 Collaboration

As a passionate cinema enthusiast, I’m excited to share that beyond the Akuma armor set, you stand a chance to acquire exclusive cosmetics, debuting as part of the Street Fighter 6 collaboration. The in-game Store will see a variety of new items added, with others up for grabs by completing fresh activities. Here’s a breakdown of all the new cosmetics introduced for this crossover event, detailing how to obtain them:

* Ryu Street Fighter 6 Outfit – Earned by completing the limited-time event mission

Unlike the merchandise from the Blossomdance Festival that is only available for a limited time, the Street Fighter 6 collaboration cosmetics will stay in the game store forever after being introduced. This means you have all the time you need to acquire or buy each item, so don’t hesitate if you want them. As a fan of Akuma in the Street Fighter series, I plan on getting his complete armor set as soon as it becomes available.

In simpler terms, the minor gestures from the collaboration DLC aren’t as potent as Akuma’s complete armor set abilities in “Monster Hunter Rise”, but they still have a strong impact. Each move inspired by “Street Fighter 6” provides a fresh, enjoyable method to hunt monsters in “Monster Hunter Wilds”. Using the power of the Dark Hado, Akuma can assert his dominance over even the strongest top-tier predators.
