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.

PC and handheld gamers can officially skip the wait, as AMD has launched its FSR 4.1 upscaling technology for Radeon RX 7000 series (RDNA 3) GPUs.

Computing and Graphics Group Senior Vice President and GM Jack Huynh made the announcement on X (formerly Twitter). This development brings machine learning powered gaming to millions of players across more than 300 games.

By downloading the latest AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.2 driver, users can unlock the new AI upscaling suite on existing RX 7000 series desktop graphics cards.

(The driver can be downloaded here.)

The update drastically sharpens image reconstruction, delivers far superior temporal stability, and keeps motion ghosting to an absolute minimum. That’s across a massive library of supported titles.

Beyond optimized frame rates out of the gate for those two blockbusters, the release packs vital architecture stability improvements and bug fixes for the broader Radeon ecosystem.

Huynh added that AMD is actively engineering lightweight machine learning models to expand FSR 4.1 optimizations to a wider base of gamers. More details are to come.

Moreover, the driver for the FSR 4.1 upscaling technology will deliver day-one support for two highly anticipated releases: Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced and DOOM: The Dark Ages | Revelations.

if you are wielding an RDNA 3 desktop rig or an RDNA 3-powered handheld, like the ROG Ally X or Lenovo Legion GO, simply open up the AMD Software suite, get the update, and test the new AI tech.
