Capcom has revealed a stunning cherry blossom-themed armor set coming to Monster Hunter Wilds. The Sakuratide α series will be available as a free reward during a special seasonal event, requiring players to collect tickets to forge this beautifully designed gear.
Seasonal Cherry Blossom Armor Revealed for Monster Hunter Wilds
The official Monster Hunter team announced on April 23, 2025, that a special Sakuratide α armor set will be available in Monster Hunter Wilds when the game launches on February 28, 2025. This elegant armor features a striking cherry blossom design with delicate pink and white elements that evoke the beauty of sakura season.
The announcement came via the official Monster Hunter social media channels, accompanied by an image showcasing the armor's intricate design. Unlike many cosmetic items in modern games, this special set won't require any additional purchases.
How Will Players Obtain the Sakuratide Armor?
According to the announcement, hunters will need to participate in a seasonal event within the game and earn special tickets. These tickets can then be used to forge the complete Sakuratide α series at the smithy. This follows the traditional Monster Hunter crafting system that fans have come to love.
While specific details about the seasonal event remain limited, this announcement suggests Monster Hunter Wilds will continue the franchise's tradition of special limited-time events with unique rewards.
A Glimpse at Post-Launch Support
This reveal offers an early look at Capcom's post-launch content plans for Monster Hunter Wilds. The franchise has historically been well-supported after release with free title updates, seasonal events, and collaboration content.
The Sakuratide armor set appears to be tied to a spring-themed event, potentially celebrating cherry blossom season, which would align with the game's dynamic, ever-changing environments that Capcom has emphasized in promotional materials.
Monster Hunter Wilds is scheduled for release on February 28, 2025, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Windows.
