Capcom has recently updated itsMonster Hunter: Worldevent schedule, which lists the start date for the upcomingDevil May Cryevent. So it appears it won’t be much longer until players can start dressing up as gaming’s bad boy of demon hunting, Dante.
There are two Capcom events on the schedule forMonster Hunter: World. The first one is themed afterMegaMan, and is live now. The second will take inspiration fromDevil May Cry, and starts a little later on April 27. Players can expect a new event quest called “Code: Red”, and taking part in it will net them Dante’s alpha armor and sword. While his weapon is made to look like the thunder sword Alastor, it’s merely a charge blade switch axe in disguise. A special gesture will also be added that incorporates Dante’s signature guns, Ebony & Ivory.
In otherMonster Hunter: Worldaffairs, theSpring Blossom Festivalis currently running, and is the game’s first seasonal event. It brings with it an opportunity to play previous event quests, some new emotes, and Spring-themed decor to the Gathering Hall with a flowery makeover. The NPCs are getting in on the action with adorable themed costumes, and Hunter handlers can be decked out as bumble bees. Players can also acquire Spring Blossom Festival tickets in order to craft new gear. The event will run until the end of next week, April 19th.
After theMega ManandDevil May Cryevents,Monster Hunter: Worldplayers can look forward to another piece of crossover content that featuresStreet Fighteralum Chun-Li. While the previousStreet Fightercontent added a Ryu armor set, along with Hadoken and Shoryuken gestures, the new one will add aChun-Li costumefor the Handler. There’s no word yet on when this content will be released, but it will likely hit once all the previous events have come and gone.
Monster Hunter Worldis available now for PS4 and Xbox One. A PC release is planned for late 2018.
