Free Monster Hunter DLC For Sonic Frontiers Now Available On Switch

Looks like Capcom is collaborating with SEGA. Nice!

Capcom has been in a giving mode recently, I'm all for it.

That so cool, after the collab in rise, it’s nice to see mh in a sonic game! Hopefully this opens the door for other collabs in sonic frontiers!

Really not a big fan of announcing dlc before the game is even out. I get why this wouldn’t be in the main game, but this isn’t the only dlc that has been announced. That being said this is pretty cool, and makes sense considering that rise got sonic dlc.

It’s nice to see this after the Sonic Content drop in Monster Hunter. Having full on costumes and a unique cooking mini game is very cool, I just hope you can mix and match cosmetics to have the armour with the Soap Shoes. This also means that Sega probably has more collaborations for us further down the track. Since they’re willing to go this far with free dlc, the digital deluxe cosmetics must be out of this world.
I’d also love a paid story dlc sometime next year if the game is successful.

@Anti-Matter Then don’t download it, hence the word D.L.C aka, downloadable content. Mh is popular and it would be incredibly selfish not to add content just because a few hundred people won’t like there Optional content.

@Anti-Matter What @Snatcher says. I really dislike the Sanic shirts (IMHO, Sanic just belittles and mocks something I like), so I didn't even download it for Sonic Forces. That's what makes it being DLC good, you don't need to download it if you don't want to.

@Anti-Matter
Because it’s obvious, from what I can tell MH is the Shovel Knight of Japanese games that do promotional crossovers so course they went for it.

I love Monster Hunter, absolute win.
Does "time to get cooking" imply there will be a food system I wonder, thinking like botw here. That would be interesting 👀 I think all Sonic would cook is chilli dogs, lol

@Snatcher
In my opinion, the games still can be good without being forced to get crossover from different franchise.
Just because there are some popular things, it doesn't mean everyone will accept the popular things.
Some peoples like me have dislikeness with certain franchises.
By adding with crossover that I don't like, it just ruined the whole game.
My concern was from the franchises that targeted for adult gamers.
And that was the reason I banned Astro Playroom PS5 before even I have PS5 machine yet, because the game has been tainted by the crossovers from other rated M Sony games disguised in cute Chibi form. Also the reason I banned every Smash Bros games, for having crossover from rated M 3rd party games characters. The existence of the rated M characters by crossover in kids games was like attacking and insulting me since I really hate every single rated M franchises.

For Monster Hunter franchise, I really aware with that franchise since in Asia age rating it rated 18+ and that made me really uncomfortable to see Sonic Frontiers get crossover by Monster Hunter. Even I can ignore the DLC but when I got informed about the crossover from other franchises as DLC that I might dislike them, it just screwed up my impression with the game.
I personally have no problem with the spinoff (Monster Hunter Stories, MonHun Airu) as they were designed for kids but I still really uncomfortable with actual Monster Hunter games.

@Sunsy
I also have same issues with The Sims 4 DLC that there are some DLC I don't like such as the Werewolf stuffs, Star Wars stuffs, etc.
Thank goodness the DLC in The Sims 4 are not tied by installation order so I can skip the DLC that I don't like but still it gave me really bad impression for the DLC stuffs I dislike.

About Sonic Frontiers, I cannot say if I will able to like that game considering from my last experience with every Sonic games I bought, it just let me down. I'm afraid I will waste my money again for purchasing Sonic Frontiers and found I couldn't even play the game.

@Anti-Matter
Is monster Hunter really rated 18 plus in some countries? There isn’t any blood or anything. Sometimes I don’t get game ratings.

You can cook in Sonic Frontiers? But... I thought Sonic onyl eats chili-dogs...

@blindsquarel
I found some games like Monster Hunter Rise on Switch and Horizons games on PS4 / PS5 were rated 18+ in Asia region (especially Middle Eastern) despite the games are rated Teen by ESRB or PEGI 12 / PEGI 16.

@Anti-Matter I wouldn’t say MH is targeted to adults but fine. Sega is not being forced nor is anyone being forced, you don’t have to download it, you literally don’t hav etc see it in game, as long as you don’t download it, so those people who don’t like the series, is being vary selfish to not have a crossover just because they don’t want mh content in the games code.

Edit: I know those say 18 plus but there is no mature content in these games, there’s some blood, like tiny splashes that a believe you can even turn off in some games, and you cut of tails if you want to, optional.

@Eagly This, there are many reasons why someone will be uncomfortable with a game a series tv show, but the way there being represented aren’t even mature in anyway, it’s literal sonic in some armor.

@Sunsy Yes, there is some dlc I don’t download because I don’t like it, why download something I don’t enjoy.

The DLC I never knew I wanted in a Sonic game!

Because I didn't.

Crossovers used to be cool, now it's just meh.

This should make us nervous, Sega is trying to make back money by doing these DLC deals before the game is even out. That's because their confidence in the game is shaken

Monster Hunter has been well known to have lots of cool collab content, there's been Sonic collab stuff before, and Rise also has some Sonic stuff too. So they're repaying the favour, I like it when devs work together like this

This is a very nice sight to see, especially after the Sonic collab in MH Rise.

Oh no, announcing DLC crossover BEFORE the game is released, to me, is a worry. So the actual game itself is not good enough by itself, they have to try an make it more enticing with extras that have nothing to do with the core game.
This is not looking good.

@Anti-Matter
Eh, I didn’t find it to be anything worth that rating. Teen was a stretch for me.

I'm pretty sure that this DLC (and a free one at that) being announced prior to the game's release is more of a marketing drive for Japan. Remember, MH is popular in Japan and Sega has been pushing the marketing for Frontiers a lot for Japan, if the JP exclusive Korone DLC isn't obvious enough, so it makes sense that they would do this to get the Japanese MH players' attention seeing this on their news feed for MH.

Apparently releasing crossover dlc for certain games completely ruins that game for some people in this thread. Probably the most ridiculous statement I have heard for awhile.

It's optional dlc. Don't download it.

Not sure a games company is going to not release some dlc because one person (on here) doesn't like it.

Neat. Reminds me of the Sonic DLC is Monster Hunter 4 on 3DS.

So, first Sega makes a first Sonic game that actually kinda excites me, and then they ALSO make a collab with the franchise I'm a shameless diehard fanboy for?

Good move, Sega, good move.

That new outfit on sonic kinda makes him look like a douchebag

@Anti-Matter Yeah and they're all optional, so there's no need to worry about extra content in games. If something appeals to someone, they'll get the DLC. If not, then they don't need to buy it.

Understood, maybe Sonic games aren't your kind of thing. That's fine, there's lots of different games to enjoy.

@Bunkerneath @Old_Man_Nintendo
As @TopazLink said, this crossover DLC is repaying Capcom for the Sonic content that was put into Monster Hunter Rise a while back. Both of these collaborations are just fun nods to each other and would’ve been made in conjunction with each other (pre 2022), meaning that this has nothing to do with their confidence being shaken. Anyway, It was probably Capcom who set the date for this to be announced.

Also, why would their confidence be shaken? Most of the people who have gone to the recent events and played the current demo build have said very positive things about the game as a whole.

@Pandy-the-Panda
Sega wouldn't let them record footage of the demo and most of these people want to continue a good relationship with Sega so why would they blast it?

As long as Sonic can have the Rathalos armor and the SOAP shoes at the same time, I'm fine with Sonic looking a bit like he did in Black Knight.

Do you smell lelleeeel what the hedgehog is cooking!

@HammerGalladeBro
You can’t the character customization is poorly implemented it’s hidden away in a “extras” menu on the main menu where you can only choose single outfits from a drop down list with no mixing and matching and no image preview of that they even look like until you enter the game.

@BlueCoolYoshi every time they do, they bring in some gold

Isn't it weird that a hedgehog loves hot dogs? And know seeing him enjoying the BBQ spit is as weird.

How do you access the mini game? I just got the game and the DLC.
