Monster Hunter Rise Is Getting Big Doses Of Ghost ‘N Goblins And Sonic The Hedgehog

Monster Hunter Rise will get even scarier before it becomes supersonic. Capcom announced during its Tokyo Game Show Monster Hunter Spotlight that two new collaborations are in the works, first with Ghost ‘N Goblins: Resurrection and then Sonic the Hedgehog. 

On October 29, hunters will soon have the materials to create layered armor based on Ghost ‘N Goblin’s hero, Arthur. This special event not only makes your hunter appear like a knight of chivalry, but also includes music from the game including the iconic theme song.

Sonic the Hedgehog will celebrate its 30th birthday in style when it crosses over to Monster Hunter. While it’s not the first time the two franchises have collided – a similar collaboration took place in Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate – Capcom promises this mash-up will be even grander. However, it didn’t have any details to share regarding what the collaboration entails. 

These collaborations join previous crossovers such as Street Fighter and Mega Man and won’t be the only updates hitting the game. Rise’s first major expansion, Sunbreak, was recently announced and launches in 2022.
