Enter the Demon: Akuma Joins the Hunt

Capcom is bringing the fight to the Forbidden Lands with a new crossover event in Monster Hunter Wilds, featuring Street Fighter 6’s Akuma and Blanka-chan. Starting May 28, hunters can unlock Akuma-themed layered armor and a Blanka-chan Palico set, complete with signature moves and animations (Polygon).

Players can don Akuma’s layered armor, transforming their hunter’s appearance and unlocking iconic moves like the Gou Hadoken and Raging Demon. These special actions are accessed via the item bar, giving combat a distinctly Street Fighter flair (Xbox Wire).

Your trusty Palico companion isn’t left out—equip them with the Blanka-chan layered armor, turning them into an electrified plush version of Blanka, complete with animations and idle poses worthy of the World Warrior himself (MonsterHunter.com).

  • Requirements: Hunter Rank 21 or higher
