2024 marks the 20th anniversary of Capcom’s Monster Hunter franchise. What was once a niche series ballooned into one of Capcom’s biggest thanks to the overwhelming success of 2017’s Monster Hunter World. In celebration of the franchise’s milestone anniversary, a crossover has now been announced with Street Fighter 6.
As part of Capcom’s Monster Hunter 20th anniversary celebrations, the publisher announced a crossover with Street Fighter 6. Arriving in April, this special event will see players “Adventure through the Battle Hub in Rathalos Armor and take photos in a redesigned space built for all hunters aching for a fight.”
It is currently unknown how extensive this crossover event will be, or if it will simply be a glorified photo mode. Regardless, fans of the Monster Hunter series should have some decent fun at the very least – and a surprisingly great time at best – so a win either way.
Street Fighter 6 has had a select number of crossovers so far with varying degrees of integration, including the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles; the manga series Spy x Family and Capcom’s own Mega Man. Hopefully the upcoming Monster Hunter crossover exceeds expectations.
