Monster Hunter Rise has been steadily serving up some fun free updates, including Capcom Collab additions that bring other popular IP into the game - last time we had Amaterasu from Okami. This time we get a bit of a blast from the past, as once again we're getting Monster Hunter x Street Fighter.
As you can see in the rather cool reveal trailer above, this time it's a layered armour for your hunter to become Akuma, the famous fighting villain. When you don't have a weapon equipped you can do some neat moves to take it to the monsters old school - just uppercut 'em in the face. [Update: Thanks to the comments we've been told this is the layered armour hiding a normal Sword & Shield combo, which this writer didn't realise because, well, I never use S&S. It still looks cool though...]
It arrives as an Event Quest reward later this week, on 27th August, with Capcom Collab 4 and 5 still due this Fall / Autumn as more free goodies. There'll also be another batch of paid cosmetics dropping the day before, on 26th August.
So, which monsters do you plan to take on as Akuma?

Wtf didn’t expect this colab. love it a lot.
Are these collaborations temporary or will the events return?
@Friendly The events don't go anywhere, I think you just talk to the mail cat and they're available to download!
@Friendly unlike with world these are downloads not limited time events so are playable at any time going forward.
That's not having No Weapon. That's Layered Armor for the Sword and Shield, or a special SnS that looks like Akuma's bare hands
@ThomasBW84 @Williamfuchs420 tnx!
Wow that actually looks really cool. Still not enough for me to try it but still not enough.
What a bunch of steaming garbage. But that's just my opinion, feel free to disagree and imagine you weren't.
Reading the two comments above me gave me a headache…
It's a interesting concept but there's something about that trailer that seems off to me. I guess I never expected ever to see Akuma going toe to toe with monsters. I'll have to let it marinate some. Maybe I'm just too much in the boat of preferring more quest variety, monsters, etc. but that's a whole other debate in the post Rise content wars.
Very cool and unexpected collab! I’m excited
Mega Man's Rush layered armor for palamute when?
Hang on what was collab 1?
@Lord It was the Monster Hunter Stories collab released in June.
This is a really good collab.
I was wondering which Street Fighter character they'd go with given the fact Ryu was in World, and I figured they wouldn't recycle the same character crossover again.
Akuma is a perfect choice. I love it!
Man rise has really been losing steam after the first couple of months. When was the last time they released a new monster to hunt?
Need to get back into this game
@DomGC ok. Just saying that I won't come back until there's more monster to hunt. Have fun though, you do you and I'll do me.
Time to put in even more hours.
@ATaco What do you think this is? fortnite? your not getting new monster till G ranked, its how all the MH works, you play the game, your done, G ranked, Play, your done. its not will never will be, shouldn't be a live service game.
Damn I miss an actually good Resident Evil game.
I think I'd actually buy MH Rise, if Capcom came up with some good RE/MH Collab for Rise. Could be quite fun
@Snatcher What? You can get new monsters without G-Rank, especially in a title update. World got Kulve, Lunastra, Deviljho, and Behemoth. Iceborne got Safi, Raging Brachy, Furious Rajang, Stygian Zinogre, Alatreon, Fatalis, and even Frostfang Barioth from an event. Rise's title updates were meant to be apart of the game, but got cut for whataver reason. Only monster I would say was new is Bazelgeuse. MH shouldn't be live service, but I would expect more from the events. Last week's event didn't even give any special rewards.
@Snatcher

@dont_simp_for_them True, but world started that trend and thats a different dev team, But I agree they could add more monsters.
But as you said most of them seemed to be added after G rank, I would like there to be more monster too tho.
The more content the better but I'm craving for a couple new monsters to take down.
@Snatcher people got an expectation from World where they released a new monster and quests every month or two and treated it like a live service game with limited time hunts. Id like a bit of a mix where they add more to the game like world but its not time exclusive like rise and the old games
This is great. Wanted to come back to this game (maybe for a week or two) and this update along with the Okami one might be a good time. Completed the game a while back, but there are still a lot of armors to collect and the fights are just fun to play through even with random players.
Hoping for a Final Fantasy collab. Missed the Behemoth fight and would actually like to see another monster, like maybe Cactaur.
GET OUTTA HERE!!!! THIS IS EPIC!!!!!!
This is dope! Kind of a muted response on here! Capcom has been awesome with their support of this game. Anyone complaining about free stuff is just drippin’ in wack juice
