Capcom has announced a special collaboration between Monster Hunter Wilds and their iconic fighting game franchise, Street Fighter 6. They are bringing Akuma, the demon of combat, into the world of monster hunting. The collaboration is live now, offering players a range of new content and features.

A special message from Street Fighter 6 Director Takayuki Nakayama is available on YouTube:

Nakayama himself will also make an appearance in the Grand Hub during hunts.

Collaboration Content

  • Exclusive Side Mission: Players can experience Akuma in action through the new side mission “Ultimate Strength”. This mission is available for hunters at HR 21 or higher. Players can start the mission by talking to Quinn, the Vespae Unit handler, at the Oilwell Basin Base Camp.
  • Arena Quests: Accompanying the side mission are the arena quests “Demonic Strength” and “True Strength” for additional rewards.
  • Akuma Hunter Armor Sets: Players can claim the “Akuma” full armor set and layered equipment. Equipping either set allows you to use Akuma’s unique items and gestures to perform his fighting moves, including a recreation of Street Fighter 6‘s Drive Impact system.
    • The full armor set significantly boosts attack power compared to the layered armor.
    • Equipping the full armor set grants stun properties to Assisted Combos and the Drive Impact action gains an offset effect.
  • Palico Armor: The “Blanka-Chan” Palico full armor set and layered equipment are also available.
  • Hunter Profile Customization: Players can unlock a special profile background, nameplate, and pose.

Akuma’s Unique Moves

Players can select Akuma’s actions from the Item Bar, including the “Assisted Combo: Akuma” command to unleash special moves like Gou Hadoken and Gou Shoryuken. The attack power of these actions is determined by the player’s equipped main weapon. For more details, players can consult the official web manual’s Collaboration section.

Paid DLC

In addition to the free content, paid DLC is also available, including:

  • Alma Outfits:
    • Chun-Li Outfit – SF6
    • Cammy Outfit – SF6
  • Pendant: Blanka-Chan Doll
  • Sticker Set: Street Fighter 6 Set
  • Gestures:
    • Hadoken
    • Shoryuken
    • Tatsumaki Senpu-kyaku (These gestures also have attack properties.)

How to Access the Content:

To enjoy the special Street Fighter 6 collaboration, players must update to the latest Version 1.011.00.00. Players can update by restarting the game and following the instructions for their device. Capcom notes that it may take some time for the downloadable content to be reflected in-game. The release date and content are subject to change without prior notice.

Box office: Brand New Day set to surpass US$ 2 billion, drives Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 resurgence

Sony Pictures’ fourth Tom Holland feature film sets records

Spider-Man Brand New Day first trailer

The box office performance of Spider-Man: Brand New Day has been nothing short of spectacular.

Sony Pictures’ fourth feature film featuring Tom Holland as the titular protagonist broke the domestic opening day record.

This feat narrowly beat the previous record set by another Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) film in Avengers Endgame.

That strong opening continued in the next few weeks as Brand New Day became became the fastest to reach the US$ 500 million mark, breaching the milestone in just seven days, per LA Times.

The movie is already the highest grossing film of 2026, beating Toy Story 5.

Which such massive success so far, Spider-Man: Brand New Day is on pace to beat Avengers: Infinity War for worldwide total gross.

With over US$ 1.7 billion grossed in just two weeks, the film is projected to surpass any point between the US$ 2.1 billion to US$ 2.3 billion mark.

It will become only the eighth ever film to surpass that mark once it reaches at least US$ 2 billion.

The others are: Avatar (2009), Endgame (2019), Avatar: The Way of Water (2022), Ne Zha (2025), Titanic (1997), Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015), and Infinity War (2018).

However, Endgame still holds an advantage, thanks to its international launch in major markets. The epic conclusion to the MCU’s Infinity Saga grossed US$ 2.79 billion during its 2019 run. And you will have to adjust that value slightly due to inflation.

In the Philippines, a strong market, Brand New Day has just eclipsed the PhP 1 billion mark, which is roughly about US$ 17.2 billion.

For comparison, it will definitely surpass Infinity War at some point, while Endgame grossed PhP 1.8 billion total or about US$ 34.56 billion at the time.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 experiences resurgence

Moreover, the film’s success also triggered a transmedia halo effect with Insomniac Games’ Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 also experiencing a resurgence in sales and player engagement.

Per IGN citing Alinea Analytics, since the film’s release, the game sold over 300,000 more copies across PlayStation 5 and Steam within a two-week span.

This is the equivalent to over US$ 11 million in revenue for Sony and Insomniac Games.

Plus, for the first time since the title’s launch in 2023, it experienced more than one million daily active users.

A combination of movie hype plus some timely discounts contributed to the game’s resurgence, also proving that the Spider-Man franchise has always been one of the biggest and most relevant IPs of all time.

Ghost of Yotei gets a story expansion in October

The Complete Edition comes with the expansion and a roguelike mode.

Ghost of Yotei is a classic RPG experience set in the same universe as its predecessor, Ghost of Tsushima. In my opinion, Atsu’s journey of revenge feels a lot more fun than Jin’s battle to save his homeland. If you’re in the same boat, Ghost of Yotei is coming back on October 1 with brand-new content.

Without delving too much into spoiler territory, Ghost of Yotei has a conclusive ending. Rather than shoehorning a forced epilogue, Echoes of Sekigahara, the title of the upcoming story expansion, explores Atsu’s past.

As with Tsushima’s expansion, Echoes of Sekigahara features a new map with new enemies, weapons, and collectibles. It will be set in two different time periods.

Besides the story expansion, the upcoming update also has a new mode called Most Wanted, which Sucker Punch Production describes as their “spin on a roguelike.” The mode explores Atsu’s experience as a headhunter, feeding her with bounties and earnable perks.

The two new content expansions will come with in the upcoming Ghost of Yotei Complete Edition. The new edition, coming on October 1, will also come with the co-op Legends mode. It also has a few perks and customization options. The edition will sell for US$ 70.

If you already have the base edition, you can grab an upgrade for only US$ 15. If you don’t want to pay for the upgrade, the game is still getting a few minor tweaks.
