Capcom is bridging two worlds in one of the most exciting crossovers yet. Starting May 28, 2025, Monster Hunter Wilds players can dive into a Street Fighter 6 special collaboration featuring none other than the raging demon himself—Akuma. This update brings new quests, powerful gear, and unique fighting moves that let hunters tap into their inner warrior.
Akuma enters the hunt
The highlight of this Monster Hunter Wilds crossover is a new side mission called Ultimate Strength, where players will face off against a challenge infused with Akuma’s brutal power. Available to hunters at HR 21 or higher, the mission starts by speaking with Quinn, the Vespae Unit handler at the Oilwell Basin Base Camp.
Finishing this mission unlocks Akuma-inspired rewards, including:
- Akuma hunter full armor set and layered armor
- Blanka-Chan Palico armor set and layered gear
- A new Hunter Profile background, nameplate, and pose
Once added, this collaboration will be permanent in the game. No limited-time FOMO—just pure power waiting to be unlocked.
Fight like a Street Fighter
Wearing the full Akuma set in Monster Hunter Wilds isn’t just for looks. It transforms your gameplay by giving you access to Akuma’s signature martial arts techniques. The Assisted Combo: Akuma command lets you string together classic moves like Gou Hadoken, Gou Shoryuken, and even Drive Impact, straight from Street Fighter 6.
Your equipped weapon influences the power of these attacks, and equipping the full armor set gives you boosted damage, stun properties, and an offset effect with Drive Impact. It’s more than a cosmetic—it changes how you hunt.
New quests, new power
Aside from Ultimate Strength, the collab introduces two additional arena quests:
- Demonic Strength
- True Strength
These missions offer even more opportunities to earn unique rewards while experiencing a completely fresh style of combat inspired by Street Fighter.
Paid DLC expands the brawl
To go even further, Capcom is dropping optional Street Fighter 6-themed DLC starting May 28. This paid content includes:
- Outfits: Chun-Li and Cammy from SF6
- Alma outfits for your hunter
- Blanka-Chan Doll pendant
- Street Fighter 6 sticker set
- Gestures with attack properties:
- Hadoken
- Shoryuken
- Tatsumaki Senpu-kyaku
These gestures aren’t just for show, they pack a punch, adding new ways to style on monsters mid-hunt.
If you’re planning to jump into the Monster Hunter Wilds x Street Fighter 6 crossover, make sure to level up to HR 21 and unlock the Oilwell Basin Base Camp. With Akuma’s gear on your side and a fresh set of gestures in your item bar, you’ll be battling like a true warrior of the fist.
Monster Hunter Wilds is available now on PlayStation 5, Xbox, and PC via Steam. Whether you’re here to fight for glory or style, this collab is a must-play for both hunters and fighting game fans.
