Capcom Ending Monster Hunter Rise "Collab DLC" In January 2024

Dang it, now this is one I can’t forget to nab.

Everyone freaking out and I'm just over here thinking the collabs for this game sucked anyways. lol

@Joeynator3000 that’s true but the game itself was amazing!

Why isn’t here more colab with Metroid or Zelda like in other MH games on 3DS:/

I wanna see an Ace Attorney collab in the next MH! Let me play in a blue suit with spiky hair!

@Joeynator3000 I take it you don't find the Sonic track suit spicy.

@Joeynator3000 Honestly I couldn't agree more, the 3DS games had much better collaboration DLC, especially MH4U.

well, i don't have the money to even get the game so just another thing i never got the chance to get.

@iLikeUrAttitude That Mario Bros. Congalala event quest was fun, wished more events like that would happen. lol

Sucks but as long at least its not like World where once its gone its gone for everyone.

@DennisReynolds I thought they made all the event quests for World available after they stopped updating the game, right? Or maybe I’m misremembering

@MonadoBoy They did.

@DennisReynolds Wait really? So you’re telling me even if I did try to earn some of that stuff it wouldn’t have mattered?

@Snatcher You tried so hard, and got so far. But in the end, it doesn't even matter.

@Snatcher All event collaborations in Monster Hunter World are still active apart from the Assassins creed movie skin and the Monster Hunter film quest, MHW still has an higher active player base than Rise so they won't stop the content for that just yet.

@MonadoBoy Yes you're right.

That's an appreciably somewhat earlier heads-up than in the case with Taiko Drum 'n' Fun (whose base game, mind whom it may concern, is going poof tomorrow), and without any concerns for investment timings... but sounds confusing in a different way, at least until you check the actual table to see that it's apparently all about quests and items claimed via in-game menus rather than from eShop. Even then, it would help to clarify if the "download" act or completion of the collab quest in question simply unlocks the already available game files that you can keep accessing even after redownloading the game (including but not limited to a future backward compatible "Switch 2" scenario). Because the PSA is kinda phrased like the alternative which is normally reserved for user creations not tied to the game and not maintained on official servers after functionality retirement (RPG Maker FES, Disney Infinity 3.0 etc).🤔 Granted, it would still be likely available in the dumped versions but naturally be applicable only to CFW'd hardware in that form.

@Znake I have three theories: First, the game is multiplatform this time (even though that didn't stop Capcom from having platform-exclusive collabs in the past, but it's still a possibility). Second: The massive Capcom leak from a few years ago might have discouraged Nintendo from doing any sort of collabs as we know them to be incredibly secretive. Third: Monster Hunter is massive now, so maybe Capcom doesn't feel the need to spend as much money on licencing now as they consider the franchise can stand on its own, as opposed to when it was more niche and collabs helped with marketing. Just speculating of course, we don't know for sure.

That said, yeah it's very sad that we didn't get any Nintendo collabs this time. I would've loved a Wolf Link Palamute costume.

and nothing of value was lost. #opinion

@UltimateOtaku91 I think the only thing I didn’t get was the movie I believe, I tried to get it last minute but forgot. Thank you for clarifying.

I tried looking for them on the eShop but they aren't listed... is it in-game only??

@Chibi_Manny Yea when you start the game you have to talk to the Mailman Cat that is in the center of the village standing on a box, or in the expansion he is standing on a box at the corner of a tent (the Melder) almost in front of where you spawn.

Then you have to select one of the options in his menu called 'Add-on Content'.

It is essentially the 'downloadable quests' that used to be in previous games prior to World.

What's up with that chunky boi sonic model? Looks like a bad fan art.

@Znake my guess is because those games were exclusive to nintendo platforms and rise is not
