Know When Extra Content Will Be Added
TheStreet Fighter 6collaboration withMonster Hunter Wildsstarts on June 23, 2025, lasting indefinitely with no set end date. This means that players will have an unlimited amount of time to earn or purchase items included in the crossover. This is reminiscent of past Capcom collabs, such as the Dante armor set and unique weapon you can still earn inMonster Hunter Worldto this day.
This day also plans for an additional 8-star Tempered Monster to be added to the game, leading to new gear possibilities. As of this time of writing, it is unclear whether this monster is directly tied to the collab and its new gear, but it seems likely. Other features and adjustments to the game will be added on August 05, 2025, altering some gameplay elements you’ll have to load by updating your copy ofWilds.
Akuma Returns As Another Layered Armor Set
Unleash The Raging Demon Against Different Monsters
Just like inMonster Hunter Rise,Akuma returns as a unique armor set you can collectto give your hunter the appearance of the master of the Satsui No Hado. The murderous intent of Akuma can be unleashed against The Forbidden Land’s dangerous creatures, using many systems seen inStreet Fighter 6. Players can unleash Drive Impacts, Gou Hadoukens, Gou Shoryukens, and more to strike at monsters they hunt.
The Akuma armor set introduced in theStreet Fighter 6collabincludes 5 new pieces of armor resembling the character as they appear in Capcom’s newest fighting game. This armor is considered a layer armor as well, meaning you can use its look while wearing different gear sets for different effects.
You’ll be able to claim the new Akuma armor set by participating in a new side mission added in the collab update. This special side quest, calledUltimate Strength, sees you find Akuma and learn how he fights to master techniques honed by the wandering warrior. Youneed to be Hunter Rank 21 or higher to start the quest tied to Akuma’s armor, so make sure you finish enough of the game’s story to reach that point.
Once you meet the right requirements, you cango to Quinn, the Vespae Unit Handler, in the Oilwell Basin Base Campto start the Akuma side quest. Alongside the Ultimate Strength mission, you can complete the following collabarena quests inMonster Hunter Wildsto earn more rewards tied to Akuma’s arrival:
When you have the Akuma armor set, you gain a set of actions tied to the character’s moves fromStreet Fighter. You canselect Akuma’s actions from the Item Bar to perform special combos that damage monsters, using deadly martial arts strikes and special moves. The attacking power of Akuma’s moves is determined by the weapon you have equipped, with some dealing more damage than others.
Equipping the full armor set of Akuma’s gear will grant you a considerable attack boost alongside other unique skills.When wearing the full Akuma set, your Assisted Combos will gain stun properties, while the Drive Impact move gains an Offsetthat can counter monster attacks. Those only wearing the fully layered set for Akuma won’t gain these additional effects from their other armor skills.
Every Revealed Cosmetic From The Street Fighter 6 Collaboration
Earn Additional Costumes For Characters Who Support Your Hunts
Beyond the Akuma armor set,you can earn special cosmetics also introduced in theStreet Fighter 6collab. Many items will be added to the in-game Store, while others can be earned for free by completing new activities. The table below outlines all the new cosmetics announced for the crossover event, including how to get them:
Full Armor set and Layered Equipment
Palico Full Armor set and Layered Equipment
Complete one of the two arena quests -“True Strength"or"Demonic Strength.”
Hunter Profile Background, Nameplate, and Pose
Gesture
Purchase from the in-game Store.
Each of the Gestures included in theStreet Fighter 6collab each have attacking properties, meaning they can damage monsters similar to the Akuma actions from his full armor set.
Unlike the new items from the Blossomdance Festival still ongoing, theStreet Fighter 6collab cosmetics will remain in the Store and game permanentlyafter their inclusion. This gives you an unlimited amount of time to earn or purchase each item, so take your team if you need to. As someone who personally plays Akuma inStreet Fightertitles, I’ll be trying to get his full armor set as soon as possible.
The smaller Gestures from the paid collab DLC are not nearly as powerful as the unique actions from Akuma’s full armor set, but they still pack a punch. Each of Akuma’s moves inspired byStreet Fighter 6offers a fun new way to hunt monsters inMonster Hunter Wilds, using the power of the Dark Hado to establish dominance over even the strongest Apex Predators.
