Get ready to trade your greatswords for gauntlets! On May 28, the action-adventure hunting game Monster Hunter Wilds kicked off an epic in-house collaboration with its publisher, Capcom. The crossover? None other than Street Fighter 6! This announcement immediately grabbed player attention because, for the first time, you can transform into the iconic character Akuma to beat down monsters!

In this special event, completing specific missions and quests unlocks the new craftable armor set, "Akuma α." By equipping this armor, or simply changing your layered armor to "Akuma α," you gain access to "Support Combo: Akuma." This means you can fight monsters without even drawing your weapon!
Through the Support Combo, you can unleash Akuma's basic attack strings. But it's not just about the basics! With "Power Impact," you can pull off Akuma's classic special moves like "Shun Goku Satsu" (Raging Demon), "OD Gou Shoryuken," or even opt for ranged tactics with the "Gou Hadoken."






This event has transformed many hunters into full-blown martial artists. After mastering all their usual weapons, players are now diving into the "Forbidden Lands" to perfect Akuma's fighting style. Since the "Support Combo" attack power scales with your currently equipped weapon's stats, there's no need to worry about low damage from fighting bare-handed. This incredibly fun and unique gameplay has even led players to dub Akuma the "15th weapon" in the series. So, have you geared up and embraced the "Satsui no Hado" yet?
