Capcom just released a video celebrating 15th anniversary of Monster Hunter! Good sign for MH to be back soon, though maybe not immediately.

Monster Hunter!

Official sites: [ Japanese ] [ English (more empty) ]

Probably the most anticipated collab listed during 7th anniversary stream is Monster Hunter (MH) collab! Just released today is a video celebrating 15 years of Monster Hunter:

When is the collab with PAD happening?

BUT! Seeing how most other MH collabs in Japan (see below) don’t start till mid-April, it’s possible that we will have to wait till then. This of course is all speculation, maybe GungHo will bring us the collab directly after Yu Yu Hakusho collab!

(But where’s Devil May Cry 5 (DMC5) then…)

Other MH collabs in Japan

Besides PAD, there are a ton more Monster Hunter events ongoing in Japan! This includes collaborations with clothing company Uniqlo, a bridal fair (lol), metallizing art, and collab food at Monster Hunter Bar in Shinjuku!

Uniqlo will have T-shirts of MH theme, available starting 4/15 for 1500 yen (+ tax, US$14.5). [ site ]

New menu available at Monster Hunter Bar (JP: モンハン酒場) in Shinjuku! 3 different sets of limited-time menu are available at different times. [ site ]

They do have stamp cards to collect stamps for a MH place mat too! Totally encouraging people to be there more than once.

Part 1: 3/16 (Thu) ~ 4/4 (Thu)

Part 2: 4/5 (Fri) ~ 4/25 (Fri)

Part 3: 4/26 (Sat) ~ 5/15 (Wed)

MH Bridal fair which gives a watch as present. Only 100 of these watches in the world, and it does require to… register for their bridal services of course. Not a freebie unfortunately. [ site ]

There are MH-related jewelry… [ site ]

… and even credit card with MH design.

There are way more cool things I didn’t list here, check the Monster Hunter official site (JP) if you’re interested! And now we just wait for the collab with PAD!
