Capcom dropped a nice and easy-to-parse teaser earlier today for the first collaboration event in Monster Hunter Wilds. We’ve known for a while that the company is working on one such event, and we’ve also known it’s going to be with another Capcom brand.
Naturally, people have been guessing, but today’s teaser makes it pretty clear which other Capcom series the first collaboration will be with.
Over on Twitter, the official Monster Hunter account shared a single image of a claw mark that has a very distinct Street Fighter art style, which inarguably means the first cross-over event will be with the iconic fighting game series.
The tweet doesn’t contain any other information besides, but it’s pretty clear we’re getting closer to a proper announcement. Street Fighter has, of course, crossed over with Monster Hunter games in the past. Monster Hunter World had its fair share of Capcom collaborations, including with Street Fighter.
This would be Wilds’ first, and judging by how Capcom has been known to run these in the past, the new content will very likely be available as part of a limited-time Event Quest. Though we can only guess, it’ll also likely include various pieces of armour that make your Hunter look like a Street Fighter character – such as Ryu.
Usually, Capcom also likes to release other cosmetics for purchase around the same time, too, for those who want some extra bling. Typically, Event Quests are little more grindy than normal quests, especially if you want to get the entire set.
However, considering how much more player-friendly Wilds has been compared to past games, the game’s iteration of this collaboration might end up being more accessible. We’ll also have to wait and see whether this event will only include costumes, or if there’s going to be a little more to it.
