Capcom has continuously provided post-launch support for Monster Hunter Rise through the Capcom Collabs, further cementing it as one of the best online multiplayer games of this year. The first one was a crossover with Monster Hunter Stores 2: Wings of Ruin where players could get layered Palico armor that resembled Tsukino, and the second collaboration let players acquire layered Palamute armor resembling Amaterasu, the main character in the Okami series.
Finally the third Capcom collaboration has been announced by Capcom in a tweet, with this crossover involving the Street Fighter franchise and featuring layered Hunter armor resembling Akuma. Akuma is a recurring cast member in the Street Fighter series, first appearing in Street Fighter II Turbo. He sports dark skin, red hair, and a lot of fury.
