You can unleash your inner demon by equipping the "Akuma" full armor set or full layered armor set. Equipping either set allows you to use Akuma's unique item and gestures to perform his fighting moves!


Selecting Akuma's moves from the Item Bar will allow you to perform them. For instance, select Assisted Combo: Akuma for a variety of combination attacks, or Gou Hadoken to unleash the iconic special move. A special gesture will also allow you to use his Gou Shoryuken.


Enjoy a brand new, Monster Hunter-flavored look at Akuma!


Experience the thrill of Street Fighter with the recreation of Drive Impact, a system mechanic exclusive to Street Fighter 6, and more.


We hope you'll enjoy this special collaboration and its features that you won't find anywhere else!

Monster Hunter Wilds is about to get even bigger. Capcom's latest entry in the ARPG series launched to immediate success, peaking at 1.3 million concurrents on Steam and reaching eight million copies sold, making it the fastest selling title in the company's history.
