Monster Hunter World: Icebornewill soon cross over with another popular Capcom franchise, as Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield fromResident Evil 2will be joining the hunt in November.
The crossovers keep coming toMonster Hunter World, which already has collaborations with theStreet Fighter, Mega Man,Final Fantasy, andAssassin’s Creedseries. TheResident Evilfranchise, with all its zombies, is set to join the list.
The teaser trailer for theResident Evil 2crossover features costumes that will bring Leon and Claire from Raccoon City to Hoarfrost Reach. The video shows zombie versions of hunters, but it is unclear if these are also costumes or if something will zombify players.
Mr. X, the notorious antagonist ofResident Evil 2, will show a different side inMonster Hunter World: Iceborneas the Handler, who hands out quests to players. Tofu, a secret character in the horror survival game, also appears as an accessory.
The exact details of theResident Evil 2crossover remain undisclosed, including how to unlock the Leon and Claire costumes and the missions that the event will introduce. Capcom will likely reveal more information before the crossover launches in November, which seems like a missed opportunity to unleash the zombies toMonster Hunter World: Icebornefor Halloween.
TheResident Evil 2crossover announcement, however, is only for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions ofMonster Hunter World: Iceborne, a Capcom representativetoldPC Gamer. The expansion is not expected to launch for the PC until January 2020, and it is unclear if gamers on the platform will also gain access to the Leon and Claire costumes or if they will miss out on the whole event.
Monster Hunter World: Iceborne, which launched for consoles in September, added the expansive Hoarfrost Reach as a new area, the Clutch Claw that allows hunters to grapple onto monsters, and new Master Rank armor and weapon sets.
“Monster Hunter World: Icebornestands tall as one of the best expansions of all time,” writes Digital Trends’ Steven Petite in his review. ForResident Evil fans, adding zombies to the game will just make it much better.
