Nice to see Mizutsune making a comeback—always loved that bubble fox’s vibe. The Grand Hub sounds like a chill spot to flex your new gear between hunts Capcom’s really leaning into the social side with this update, and that Barrel Bomb bowling mini-game has me weirdly hyped. Can’t wait to see what collaborations they cook up next
