Capcom has officially announced an exciting crossover between two of its biggest franchises. Monster Hunter Wilds will welcome iconic Street Fighter 6 characters as special layered armor sets, with both free and premium options arriving on May 28, 2025.
Free Street Fighter Armor Sets Coming to Monster Hunter Wilds
Hunters will soon be able to channel their inner fighting game champion in Monster Hunter Wilds. The collaboration, announced on May 22, 2025, will bring two free layered armor sets to the game:
- Akuma hunter layered armor with special actions
- Blanka-chan Palico layered armor
The Akuma set will allow players to "become the master of the fist" with unique animations and actions that capture the essence of the demonic fighter. Meanwhile, your feline companion can transform into the adorable Blanka-chan, based on Street Fighter's wild green beast.
What's Included in the Paid DLC Pack?
Beyond the free content, Capcom will also release a premium cosmetic collaboration pack on May 28, 2025. While specific details about the paid DLC haven't been fully revealed, it will likely include additional Street Fighter-themed items, gestures, or cosmetics to further customize your hunting experience.
This collaboration marks another exciting crossover for the Monster Hunter franchise, which has previously featured content from various games and media properties. The timing is perfect, arriving just three months after Monster Hunter Wilds' February 28, 2025 launch on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
How to Access the Collaboration Content
When the content drops on May 28, 2025, players will likely need to download the collaboration items via an update or through the in-game store. The free Akuma and Blanka-chan layered armors should be accessible to all players without purchase, while the cosmetic DLC pack will require a separate purchase.
For the latest updates on this exciting collaboration, Capcom recommends following the official Monster Hunter social media channels or visiting their website.
The worlds of monster hunting and street fighting will collide in this unique crossover event. Will you be channeling your inner Akuma or dressing your Palico as Blanka-chan when the collaboration launches?
