Monster Hunter Wilds' Twitter account has teased a collaboration with the Street Fighter franchise, sharing a cryptic message: "This paint... I feel like I've seen it somewhere before." The tweet also features an image that depicts a new logo and orange spray paint splashes that closely resemble Street Fighter's signature colorful art style. Fans also spotted the game's title faintly visible in the background. So, while there's no official confirmation yet, all signs point to an upcoming crossover between Monster Hunter Wilds and Street Fighter.

Monster Hunter Wilds and Street Fighter Collaboration Comes with a New Update

Monster Hunter Wilds' roadmap after the first title update revealed that version 1.011 is set to launch at the end of May, bringing with it a major collaboration with another Capcom title. Now, the other end of that teased crossover appears to have been revealed. However, many details about the upcoming update remain under wraps. Based on Monster Hunter Wilds' past patches, version 1.011 is expected to introduce new monsters, additional missions and side quests, and a variety of new cosmetic items.

It seems Capcom is working to keep its long-running fighting game in the spotlight as it approaches its two-year mark. Prior to the news of its crossover with Monster Hunter Wilds, Street Fighter also had a collaboration with Overwatch 2. Before that, the franchise crossed over with Ace Attorney in a unique event. On top of these, Street Fighter also teamed up with Rival Schools, a collaboration with another classic Capcom fighting game that received largely positive feedback from fans.

When Capcom recently released updated sales figures for its core franchises, it became clear that both Monster Hunter and Street Fighter rank among the company's top earners. The upcoming crossover event presents a great opportunity for fans of each series to explore the other, while also delivering a fresh batch of cosmetics that's sure to excite the broader community, even those who're not necessarily fighting game fans.
