This crossover is such a fun way to spice up Wilds—nothing like suplexing a monster while dressed as Blanka to keep things fresh. The Arena Quests sound like a solid challenge, and those SF6-inspired cosmetics are gonna be an instant buy for me.

Capcom really knows how to blend their iconic franchises—Akuma in Monster Hunter Wilds feels like a natural fit, and those Blanka-Chan Palico outfits are pure genius. Can’t wait to see how these crossover quests shake up the usual hunting grind
