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.

The studio will also reveal a new trailer during Gamescom Opening Night Live on August 25, before the show floor opens.

The Gamescom demo gives players a longer look at Tides of Annihilation. It features branching paths that lead to different exploration routes and combat encounters. Players can also explore key locations and experience several of the game’s biggest set pieces.

“Gamescom will be an incredibly important moment for our team since this will be our first global playtest and we’re excited to see how first-time players experience our game,” said Ary Chen, Game Director and Co-CEO of Eclipse Glow Games.

“The team has poured heart, soul, and maybe even a few tears into developing the game over the last few years, and it’s finally our opportunity to share it with players. We’re looking forward to seeing their reaction.”

Members of the press and content creators can also schedule private hands-on sessions with the development team during the event.

Arthurian-inspired adventure
