As someone who regretfully dipped out ofMonster Hunter Riseand might circle back for the better-runningPC versionin January, I expect to see a bunch ofcool and wacky crossoverswhen I return to the hunt. With Tokyo Game Show this week, Capcom has announced two near-futureMonster Hunter Risecollabs:Ghosts ‘n Goblins(October 29) andSonic the Hedgehog(November). These will of course be free updates, and I’m intrigued.
Try not to let Arthur stare directly into your soul. I meanreally try.
Capcom Collab 5 is our favorite clothing-challenged knight, which feels like a spot-on selection for a Halloween-ish release. And yeah, come to think of it,Ghosts ‘n Goblins Resurrectionmight be a fun spooky pickup if, like me, you just never got around to it.
Arthur will be available as layered armor for your hunter, and he’ll be unlockable with an Event Quest. I like how instead of slinging kunai at beasts, he’s hurling lances here.
So, what about Sonic? Is he going to look like atotal gooberinMonster Hunter Rise? Capcomisn’t“ready to share any info yet, but the collab is scheduled to drop this November” while theSonicthe Hedgehog30th anniversary celebration is still in effect.
For now, we’ll have to use our imaginations. I hope it’s a particularly meaty chili dog.
Here’s the update schedule forGhosts ‘n GoblinsandSonic the Hedgehogif needed:
Waiting for something big to sink your teeth into? It’s probably getting to be about that time. Aside from these smaller updates and collabs, we’ll have to wait until this summer forMalzeno,Shogun Ceanataur, and everyone else inMonster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak.
