Monster Hunter Wilds x Street Fighter 6: Akuma Joins the Hunt!

Get ready to unleash your inner demon! *Monster Hunter Wilds* is teaming up with *Street Fighter 6* in a thrilling new collaboration launching on May 28th. This exciting crossover brings the iconic Akuma to the monster-hunting world, allowing players to don his signature layered armor and even learn his devastating moves.

The collaboration features a wealth of *Street Fighter* themed content. Players can unlock Akuma's layered armor, complete with iconic moves like the Gou Hadoken and Gou Shoryuken, allowing you to literally "throw hands" with monsters like Ajarakan and Congalala. Your Palico companion can also get in on the action with a Blanka-themed armor set.

To access these rewards, players must undertake the new side mission, "Ultimate Strength," available to hunters at Hunter Rank 21 or higher. The mission can be started by speaking to Quinn at the Oilwell Basin Base Camp. The best part? This collaboration is a permanent addition to the game, so you can jump in whenever you're ready to embrace the Satsui no Hado.

Beyond the Akuma armor, the collaboration also includes paid DLC with new outfits for Alma (Chun-Li and Cammy) and a set of three gestures (Hadoken, Shoryuken, and Tatsumaki Senpu-kyaku) to add some Street Fighter flair to your hunts. This exciting crossover is sure to bring a fresh and exciting experience to *Monster Hunter Wilds*.
