Monster Hunter Rise x Street Fighter Collab

A brand new Street Fighter collab is coming to Monster Hunter Rise on August 27th.

The developers of Monster Hunter Rise have various collaborations planned for the title, with Akuma from Street Fighter being the third in the series.

From August 27th, players will be able to unlock Akuma hunter layered armor via an event quest reward. Akuma also appears to have brought over his own moves from Street Fighter, as the trailer showcases him fighting without actually wielding any weapons.

So, when exactly will Akuma arrive? The collaboration is expected to go live at MIDNIGHT in Japan, meaning Akuma will arrive on August 26th at 8AM PT / 11AM ET / 4PM BST.
